Amnesty International says it had 24 accounts of ill treatment of migrants in Italy, including beatings and electric shocks. There was no immediate response to the allegations from Italy, which has always said it treats migrants with professionalism and care. Amnesty said the behavior of most Italian police officers involved was professional but it called for an independent review of the allegations. The report quoted a man named as Adam, a 27-year-old from Darfur in Sudan, who said he had been beaten and subjected to electric shocks before being made to strip naked. A 25-year-old woman from Eritrea said she had been slapped repeatedly in the face by a policeman until she agreed to be fingerprinted, and a 16-year-old boy and a 27-year-old man said police had applied pain to their genitals.
