Source Summary
On July 8, the Supreme Court issued a ruling confirming that hot returns of migrants attempting to reach Spain by swimming are illegal. The high court set its doctrine based on the case of an Algerian boy who tried to reach Ceuta by swimming and was handed over to Moroccan authorities. Eighteen days after this judicial resolution, on July 30, hundreds of people made the same journey and accessed the autonomous city by swimming from Morocco . After negotiating the return of the vast majority of them to their country of origin, the Spanish government has installed a 500-meter buoy barrier, ceded by the army, on the maritime border. Now Melilla has announced that it will do the same.
