Amnesty International has condemned the Spanish and Moroccan governments' treatment of African migrants attempting to cross the border from Morocco to Spain at Melilla and Ceuta. In addition to describing the injuries inflicted on migrants at the border crossings, Amnesty documents the practice of abandoning them in the desert.
Al Jinane (fr) reports that the Moroccan government has denounced Amnesty's criticisms. A commenter points out that Europe bears a heavy responsibility for creating the conditions that have led to the current immigration crisis. Amnesty acknowledges this responsibility, but does not condone the actions of the Spanish or Moroccan governments.
