International Roundup According to Reuters, Australia is investigating 201 cases of possible wrongful detention and deportation, uncovered since a mentally ill Australian was mistakenly detained as an illegal immigrant and another held and mistakenly deported. The government had previously admitted that at least 33 Australians were wrongfully detained in the past two years and set up a closed inquiry into detention centers. ***** According to Expatica News, Spain's government has told undocumented immigrants who were not eligible for its unprecedented amnesty that they must leave the country. Some 700,000 illegal immigrants to Spain, mostly from Latin America and North Africa, applied for the amnesty over the three-month period that ended on 7 May. Just over 600,000 of them — those who could demonstrate they were in Spain for six months beginning last year and who have work contracts for at least six months — are expected to be granted documentation in the coming weeks.
