A Moroccan human rights group says at least 141 people have died trying to reach Spain's Ceuta enclave, accusing Morocco and Spain of prioritising border security over human lives. The NGO is calling for an independent investigation and safer migration pathways.
The Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH) says at least 141 people have died during the recent migration crisis in Ceuta, a figure significantly higher than previous estimates released by Moroccan and Spanish authorities.
The organisation said its tally is based on official data, media reports and information gathered by human rights groups. It added that the number of missing people remains unknown.
Shared responsibility
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, AMDH blamed both Morocco and Spain for the tragedy, arguing that migration has been treated primarily as a security issue rather than a humanitarian one.
