A thirteen-year-old Afghan girl is hospitalized in the Regina Margherita children's hospital in Turin, in a state of shock, after being rejected at the border of Montgenèvre by the French police.
He was part of a group of migrants, about fifty, including his mother who now assists him in the hospital, where he is as a precaution.
It seems that in sending them away the gendarmerie also fired some pistol 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 11-year-old girl 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. With her is her mother, who speaks English.
