First German 'expandable shelter' in Hamburg

hamburg - At the airport of Hamburg is Friday the first German 'Abschiebegewahrsam' into use. That is a detention center for asylum seekers awaiting deportation and not leave voluntarily. There is room for twenty people. The accommodation is also suitable for families with children.

The European Court forbade in 2014 the detention of migrants who are not entitled or to win a residence permit in ordinary prisons. The 'trousseau care 'Hamburg is a reasonable alternative to avoid disappearance into illegality. It is intended that the 'guests' there are up to four days before they are put on the plane.
