Spain: Accountability urged for ‘appalling’ migrant deaths in Ceuta | Amnesty International

"This loss of life is appalling, and the
Spanish authorities must come clean on what happened – particularly as
the Minister’s version of events contradicts earlier official
statements. They must determine what went wrong and bring those
responsible to account as a matter of urgency,” said Jezerca Tigani,
Deputy Europe and Central Asia Programme Director at Amnesty
International

The drowned migrants were among some 250 sub-Saharan Africans who had been attempting to cross into Ceuta on 6 February.
