About 1,000 African migrants protesting Israels policy on asylum-seekers have marched out of an open detention centre and are camped out near the southern border with Egypt. The mainly Eritrean and Sudanese migrants left the Holot camp facility on Friday because Israel had not processed their claims for asylum, a statement by migrant activists said. We are going to stay near the border with Egypt until a solution is found so our rights are respected, the statement said. The sit-in came a day after Israeli soldiers stopped the demonstrators from crossing the border.
