Detention Camps: Spain and Migration Minister

detention camps: They included 65 men, 49 women and 84 minors from 83 family groups, according to Metro News. Their arrival brings to 898 the number of asylum seekers resettled or relocated in Spain since last year. An Interior Ministry statement said the refugees who arrived in Spain on Wednesday included 144 Syrians, 52 Iraqis, one Eritrean and an Iranian. Spain has agreed to take in more than 17,000 by late 2017. Greece's migration minister says the government plans to build detention camps on islands facing Turkey's coastline, as overcrowding at existing facilities for migrants continues to rise. Foreign Minister Alfonso Dastis said last week that Spain intends to fulfil the agreement. -- 3 15 p.m. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
