In Donostia-San Sebastián, a migrant has committed suicide in a housing managed by the Basque Government. Sources from the Department of Social Policies have explained that this is an 18-year-old Moroccan citizen who was informed on Wednesday: "It only took 15 minutes until the young man entered the bedroom and an educator went to find him. Although this educator and a roommate started the resuscitation work, they were not able to save their lives", notes the note of the Basque Government.

The young man, who had resided in this house since last December, had previously passed through the center of Ibaiondo. The procedures for the repatriation of the body to Morocco, where its family resides, have already begun. The Minister for Equality, Justice and Social Policies, Beatriz Artolazabal, has come to the house to express her "condolences" and has met with spokespersons for the groups of the Committee on Justice of the Basque Parliament.

This is not the only case these days. Last Sunday, the lifeless body of a young Eritrean, near the Bidasoa River, was found in Irun, which also showed signs of suicide, the Basque Department of Security reported. Irun's Reception Network believes he could be a migrant and on Thursday they have concentrated on Irun to protest the death of this man.

Stitched lips

For its part, the Cimade Migrant Support Association has denounced that a man who has been in the Hendaia Detention Centre for 63 days has nailed his lips. Of Tunisian origin, Cimadek explained to Berria that the prefecture denied him the residence certificate and that although he had appealed to the court in Pau, he will be expelled, as his case has not yet been examined. Thus, he has rubbed his lips to explain his "despair" for which he has been arrested.
