| ROME: Italy's former interior minster and far-right politician, Matteo Salvini, lost his parliamentary protection after a vote by the country's Senate and now faces multiple charges of violation of local and international migration laws. Salvini, the 46-year-old federal secretary of the Lega Nord, a fascist party, is accused of preventing, kidnapping, and deporting hundreds of migrants who had arrived on the Italian coast in search of protection from conflict, persecution, and war when he led the interior ministry, as well as when he was Italy's deputy prime minister from 2018 to 2019. He also refused to allow 116 rescued migrants to leave the Gregoretti coastguard boat — where they had been languishing for about a week in insalubrious conditions — until a deal was reached with other European states to host them. The decision, he insisted, had the backing of the government and Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. The Italian Senate abolished his parliamentary protection, voting 152-76 in favour of removing the legal protection, following which he was been charged with harassment of incoming refugees. It is important to mention here that federal ministers cannot be tried for actions they take while in office unless their parliamentary immunity is revoked.
