Riot of migrants at Porto airport causes huge damage

Moroccans also allegedly assaulted a foreign citizen also held in the temporary installation center of Porto airport.

The migrants involved in the riot will be brought before the Court.

The 11 migrants have been in the Temporary Installation Center at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport for two months now waiting for the decision on the asylum application and they revolted over the waiting time.

The detained migrants are part of the group of 22 Moroccans who arrived in the Algarve in June.

At the time, they were detained by the Maritime Police when they prepared to land illegally on a beach in Loulé. Of these 22 elements, 11 were transferred to Porto, to the place where the riot has now occurred.

PSP put an end to the riot at the temporary installation center, which is in charge of the Aliens and Borders Service.

Migrants applied for asylum for humanitarian reasons.
