This morning at the fence. The Guardia Civil used enormous force to beat dozens of migrants back to the Moroccan side of the border after they had jumped off the fence through a door.
That is clearly illegal. Once in Spain, these people have the right to an asylum procedure by law.
One of the Guardia Civil cut the rope, the man fell to the Spanish ground from a height of four or five metres and was then deported to Morocco. This is also clearly against the law.
It all happened in front of dozens of witnesses. I wasn't there myself, but I was able to see four migrants in the CETI who managed to get through.
Addendum: all videos on the scandalous behaviour of the Guardia Civil are posted in the following blog posts, see: here and here.

Please keep posting this article, this brutal behaviour must come to an end.
