The deputies of the different parliamentary groups have received a letter signed by more than 100 civil society organisations from all over Spain, including CEAR, Save the Children, Solidary Wheels, Iridia, Novact, Servicio Jesuita a Migrantes, Elín, MDLR, Geum Doudou and the Asociación Pro Derechos Humanos de Andalucía, who hope that the following letter will become effective:
Concerned about the extreme seriousness of the fact that what happened on June 24 in the
autonomous city of Melilla, where at least 23 people, 37 according to local organisations, died trying to cross the fence, has still not been clarified; more than 100 civil society organisations, including CEAR, Save the Children, Solidary Wheels, Irídia, Novact, Servicio Jesuita a Migrantes, Elín, MDLR, Geum Doudou and Asociación Pro Derechos Humanos de Andalucía, are contacting you to express our concern.
A BBC report has questioned the Interior Ministry's version of events and highlights the need for a judicial investigation. The recently published evidence points to the disproportionate and indiscriminate use of force by the Moroccan security forces in the area of Barrio Chino in an area partially controlled by the Guardia Civil and which, according to the land registry, is Spanish territory. Some 700 people were trapped in this area, resulting in deaths by suffocation without the Spanish authorities providing medical assistance. In addition, the actions of Moroccan agents in Spanish territory, executing summary returns and the illegitimate and disproportionate use of force were recorded.
According to the investigation carried out by the Ombudsman's Office, there were 470 refoulements at the border without taking into account both national and international legal provisions and without having applied the guarantee of non-refoulement of persons in a situation of vulnerability or in need of protection. This is especially worrying given that the majority of the people came from countries with high rates of recognition of the need for international protection.
The undersigned organisations consider that a state governed by the rule of law should guarantee justice, reparation and non-repetition for those affected. That is why we request:
-The approval of a Commission of Inquiry in Congress to clarify the facts regarding the influence that the use of riot control equipment by the Spanish security forces in the area, as well as the inaction of the authorities to carry out rescue work had on the resulting deaths, and to clarify what part of the events took place on Spanish territory.
-Compliance by the State with its international obligations regarding the search for missing persons, reported by the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH) at 77 people, and international protection, guaranteeing safe and legal routes, such as the possibility of processing asylum applications in Spanish Embassies and/or Consulates.
-The end of pushbacks and the guarantee of the application of the Constitutional Court's doctrine regarding the right to request asylum and individualised attention.
-The adoption of measures for the determination of responsibilities, reparation for the victims and the guarantee of non-repetition based on the results of the investigation.
Yours sincerely
The undersigned organisations.
