27 minors to leave Italy migrant ship: charity

Interior Minister Matteo Salvini wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte that he could authorise the 'alleged' minors to leave the Open Arms ship despite such a move being 'divergent to my orientation.'

ROME - Twenty-seven unaccompanied minors have been authorised to leave a migrant rescue vessel in limbo off Italy, the Spanish charity operating the ship said Saturday.

"They will be evacuated by coastguard Lampedusa," Proactive Open Arms tweeted after far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini reluctantly authorised the disembarkation.

Salvini wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte that he could authorise the "alleged" minors to leave the Open Arms ship despite such a move being "divergent to my orientation."

The 106 adults and two accompanied minors must remain on board.
