Around 1,000 Africans, mostly from Eritrea and Sudan, had marched Friday to the border and set up a makeshift camp to protest against their "inhuman and unlimited" detention at Holot facility. Israel opened Holot detention camp in the southern Negev desert last year as part of a *****down on illegal immigrants, with the facility open by day but locked down at night. The demonstrators have said Holot is akin to prison and have also slammed what they said was Israel's failure to process their asylum requests.
