A court has decided that enough evidence exists to indict 19 Somali migrants for their role in a disturbance at Ta' Kandja open centre on July 8.

They stand accused of slightly injuring policemen and Detention Service officers and causing wilful damage to property costing €2,500.

The court was told by Detention Service officials that the migrants had assaulted their staff and showered them with everything they could lay their hands on.

The disturbance started after the migrants were refused permission to speak to the camp commander as a group.
