JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli authorities on Sunday broke up a protest by hundreds of African migrants who marched out of an Israeli detention center over the weekend to protest their treatment.

Sabine Haddad, a spokeswoman for Israel’s Interior Ministry, said the protesters were rounded up with little resistance. She said a small number of protesters scuffled with authorities, and that there was no serious violence. The protesters were taken to an Israeli prison several kilometers (miles) away.
