(ANSA) - TURIN, MARCH 27 - A thirteen-year-old Afghan girl is hospitalized at the Regina Margherita children's hospital in Turin, in a state of shock, after being rejected in the Montgenèvre confined by the French police.
She was part of a group of migrants, about fifty, including her mother who is now assisting her in the hospital, where she is as a precaution.
It seems that in pushing them away the gendarmerie also fired some gun shots for intimidation.
The pushback near Claviere took place on the evening of Thursday 25 March.
At the moment, there is no confirmation that the French gendarmerie, which drew the weapons, fired some shots for intimidation.
The girl, who would have been 11 and not 13 years old as learned in a first moment, was returned to the Italian police yesterday at lunchtime with other migrants.
They were all fine, but the little girl did not speak and was visibly frightened;
for this reason she was taken to the Regina Margherita hospital in the afternoon.
There she was visited by a neuropsychiatrist, who as a precaution decided to keep her for the night.
Conlei is the mother, who speaks English.
