Madrid, 17 March 2014 – Victoria Anderica from Access Info Europe participated yesterday in the television programme ‘El Objetivo’, in Spanish TV channel La Sexta, to talk about the lack of transparency surrounding migrant internment centres in Spain (Centros de Internamiento de Extranjeros, CIEs).
“In Spain we haven’t been able to access information about the CIEs, and this makes it very difficult for civil society to work on this area,” said Victoria Anderica.
