More than 100 refugees, whose permits to remain in Portugal expired today, have proceeded to the resort town of Caldas Darainha, ninety kilometres from here, where they were to be jailed, under an arrangement with the police authorities.
Transportation and maintenance costs were paid by the local relief committee from funds supplied by the Joint Distribution Committee. Efforts are now being made to secure their release under the same conditions as those applying to other refugees who have been jailed in the past, and subsequently released.
