Amnesty International Slams Spain, Morocco Over Melilla Tragedy

Amnesty International has issued a report on the June deaths of over 20 migrants at the border of the Spanish northwest African enclave city of Melilla, describing the response as crimes under international law, and criticized the investigations conducted by Morocco and Spain. “We are here today to report on massive killings and forced disappearances, acts of torture, discrimination and racism. Violations of the principle of “non-refoulement” (*non-return) _ all of that on European soil,” Amnesty International Secretary General Agnès Callamard said.
