"Melilla is once again a graveyard for those who try to escape war, repression and misery," SOS Racism denounced at the rally held on Sunday in front of the Donostia City Hall. "The burglars are the governments of Morocco and Spain that raise barriers and organize a whole military police expansion to prevent our sacred borders from being violated at the expense of life and repression."

"Images frighten everyone," says the organization. "On the contrary, the President of the Spanish Government is pleased with the actions of the Moroccan police. The degree of degeneration and loss to which the North can reach by organizations charged with declarations in favour of human rights when criticizing the activity of some countries. Ethics is left out when we talk about dehumanized people." Hundreds of citizens have joined the concentration called by SOS Racism.

"The borders between Spain and Morocco kill us"

In Bilbao, dozens of people have also met on Sunday, convened by the African community Ongi Etorri and CNAAE. They denounce the "necropolicies" of the Spanish State and of Europe in general. "Pain, anger, disability, shame. We have seen that the most progressive government in history congratulates the security forces of the Spanish State of Morocco, without taking into account all its violent and dehumanized actions".

Land, surrounded by Moroccan police

The Moroccan Association for Human Rights of Nador has broadcast a video on Twitter. Dozens of people appear on the ground, apparently wounded and exhausted, surrounded by Moroccan police. "In this inhumane way, stacked on top of each other, dozens of sub-Saharan migrants were detained by the Moroccan authorities in front of the barrier," the organization said.
