A surveillance measure has been activated against Judge Silvia Albano, who works in the immigration section of the Rome court. Albano is one of the six magistrates involved in the proceedings regarding the detention of migrants in Albania and recently reported receiving death threats following her decisions of October 18, which did not validate the detention of migrants.

According to information released by ANSA, the investigations are aimed at monitoring both the workplace and the residence of the judge. This measure was adopted to guarantee her safety, considering the seriousness of the threats received. The situation highlights a climate of growing tension and risk for those, like Albano, who deal with delicate issues related to immigration.

The threats against the judge are an alarming episode that raises questions about the safety of magistrates and their freedom to exercise their functions without fear of reprisals. The judiciary, especially when dealing with controversial issues such as immigration, can face external pressure and backlash from groups or individuals with opposing interests.

The October 18 decision has sparked a wide public and political debate on how migration policies are managed and respect for human rights. Legal actions taken by judges in this context are essential to ensure that rules are respected and that migrants' rights are protected. However, such decisions can also put magistrates in vulnerable situations.

The adoption of oversight is a necessary step to protect Judge Albano as she carries out her work. This case highlights not only the challenges faced by justice professionals but also the importance of institutional support in ensuring the safety of those working in the legal sector. Competent authorities are called upon to intervene to safeguard the integrity of the justice system and protect those who work for it, so that it can continue to operate in compliance with the law and democratic principles.
