Migrants protest conditions at 2 asylum centers in Italy

ROME- Italian police early Tuesday quelled a protest by occupants of a migrant center near Venice that left fearful workers at the center barricaded inside offices.

 

Carabinieri paramilitary police in Chioggia, about 70 kilometers (45 miles) east of the Cona migrant center, said the protest ended peacefully after a few hours.

 

Some migrants told Italian television they were protesting the alleged delay in medical assistance Monday for an ill 25-year-old woman from Ivory Coast. She died shortly after an ambulance arrived.

 

The Italian news agency ANSA quoted Venice Prosecutor Lucia D'Alessandro as saying an autopsy indicated a pulmonary blood clot caused the woman's death.
