UN investigates Melilla torture claims
The article focused on the United Nations opening an investigation into allegations of mistreatment of migrants in Ceuta during their crossing last July. The organization urged Spanish authorities to conduct an independent and swift investigation, especially following Amnesty International's testimonies which revealed that over 65 migrants were subjected to violence, including beatings, insults, and humiliating practices, resulting in injuries and violations of human rights. The UN also emphasized the importance of protecting the victims by conducting medical and psychological examinations in accordance with Istanbul Protocol standards, warning against any deportations or transfers that could hinder justice. This coincided with human rights criticisms of the rapid deportation of migrants back to Morocco and the assurances given to them, and the crisis became entangled in political debates over control of Ceuta and Melilla, as well as its impact on the relations between Madrid and Rabat.
