In Ceuta, members of «El Circulo del Silencio», a network that fights against violence and supports migrants, will gather on September the 12th to reject the Spanish migration policy.

Recently, in Morocco, nine NGOs have criticized the decision taken by the Spanish government, sending back migrants to Morocco after they «violently» entered Ceuta.

The Anti-racist Group for the Support and Defense of Foreigners and Migrants (GADEM), the Moroccans Association of Human Rights (AMDH) and ATTAC also denounced «flagrant violations of the basic rights of sub-Saharan migrants».
