Italian politicians voiced outrage over an incursion by armed French customs agents, during which they raided an Italian train station to search migrants wanting to cross into France.An article worth your time.
The story unfolded at a train station in Bardonecchia, a town near the Franco-Italian border, where an NGO called Rainbow for Africa was handling migrants trying to cross the Alps and reach France. The organization said armed French border and customs agents suddenly burst into the station, taking a migrant who they said was suspected of drug trafficking.
The French agents demanded that Rainbow for Africa's staff conduct a urine test on the man, and "intimidated our doctor and the mediators and lawyers," the NGO said on Twitter. The charity said that health institutions are respected as neutral places "even in wartime," and accused the French officers of violating the principles of independence, neutrality, impartiality and humanity.
