RT @seawatch_intl: We have no words for what we saw this weekend.
14 people. 14 human beings who hoped to find safety in Europe. Instead,…

Hundreds of people who fled to #Ceuta are protesting against their possible deportation and the denial of their right to claim #asylum - we stand in solidarity with them: no forced return to #Morocco, freedom of movement for all!

One with 26 people who departed from #Tipaza and another with 32 people, reportedly having left from #Boumerdes.
@salvamentogob is searching, but has not found them yet.
