Drahonice detention centre opens to migrants

Eighty migrants from the Bělá pod Bezdězem detention centre north of Prague were transported to a newly opened facility in Drahonice on Monday. The move is to alleviate the heavily overburdened centre at Běla and give migrants in both facilities more room and better conditions. The facility in Drahonice, which is not far from Běla, has a capacity of 240 beds and like that at Bela does not enable migrants freedom of movement outside the grounds.
