Judges in Strasbourg have said Italy violated the human rights of three undocumented Tunisian migrants who fled the unrest of the Arab Spring four years ago.<br /><br /> The three men — Saber Khlaifia, Fakhreddine Tabal and Mohamed Sfar — left their home country in 2011 amid the turmoil of anti-government protests.<br /><br /> The European Court of Human Rights, which is not an EU body, said they had been kept in inhumane and “appalling” conditions on the Italian island of Lampedusa.<br /><br /> Judges ruled that European governments should provide adequate reception facilities and assess asylum cases individually.<br /><br /> The three men had been repatriated on the basis of a bilateral agreement with Tunisia.
