A large number of policemen and soldiers have surrounded Lyster Barracks at Hal Far, where Tunisian migrants who have been in detention since February 1 are holding a violent protest. Informed sources said that contrary to other recent protests, the Tunisians are protesting because they want to be deported - insisting that they originally wanted to go to Italy not stay in detention here. Their papers have not yet been received from Tunisia. The group - numbering 71, arrived on a boat carrying 262 migrants which had entered Birzebbuga.
