Story summary
  • Sumar sent a letter to UN Special Rapporteur Gehad Madi requesting an investigation of Morocco’s possible role in the Ceuta crisis.
  • The crisis recorded about 50,000 arrivals and at least 67 deaths, a surge Sumar says exceeds ordinary flows and suggests Moroccan facilitation and neglect.
  • The letter asks Madi to examine Morocco’s safeguards, any rights-violating facilitation, and to demand accountability for security forces’ passivity.
