Egypt arrests 157 migrants headed to Italy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CAIRO -- The Egyptian coast guard arrested 157 migrants of different nationalities including Palestinians on Sunday who had been planning to sail illegally in a rickety fishing boat from Egyptian shores to Italy, a security official said.
The official says the migrants included 43 Palestinians, 35 Sudanese and 18 Syrians. Women and children were among the migrants, who had been boarding the boat headed across the Mediterranean Sea from the Alexandrian district of Abu Qir.
The official also said that human traffickers had collected $3,500 dollars from each passenger.
Officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.
Rights groups in the past have urged Egyptian authorities not to deport migrants, who are usually fleeing war zones, back to their countries.
