# Maat Foundation expresses its concern about the increasing waves of # illegal immigration from # Africa to Europe, at a time when more than 80% Of the immigrants to Italy in the recent period, more than 30% of these arrivals were Tunisian, compared to 12% from Bangladesh and 71 TP1T from Ivory Coast..

It is worth noting that between 2016 and 2017, # Italy recorded the arrival of more than 182,000 immigrants, which prompted it to conclude an agreement with Libya to combat illegal immigration, which led to a decrease in this number to about 42,000 people during 2017 and 2018.

Maat Foundation does not support the repetition of the European agreement signed between Italy and # Libya with the rest of North Africa, which includes funding for the Libyan Coast Guard known for its violations against migrants, in addition to the deteriorating humanitarian situation in # detention centers, in addition to the seriousness of the security situation.

The Maat Foundation also calls for an end to the forced deportation of irregular migrants, work to solve legal problems and explicit violations of the rights and freedoms of the deportees, and protect migrants from being subjected to torture and other forms of ill-treatment and collective deportation.
