Thousands march for refugee rights in Israel
Tens of thousands of African asylum seekers and their supporters continued a three-day protest Monday on the streets of Tel Aviv demanding that the Israeli government recognize their refugee status and end the policy of detention without trial.
"More than 30,000 demonstrators marched peacefully," police spokeswoman Lubra Samri said when the protest began on Sunday, which would make the action the largest such rally by migrants in Israel's history.
The protest comes after a December mass walk-out from a detention facility by hundreds of asylum seekers who are detained there during the night and barred from seeking work during the day. Those caught breaking the strict rules risk arrest and confinement in a closed prison.
====================================
I found articles dating back to 2010 on this issue. This has been going on for a over four years now.
Any updates on this situation, other than the fact of mass deportations?
