Calls for inquiry as video appears to show Guardia Civil boat knocking at least one person out of dinghy bound for Spain

Human rights campaigners in Morocco and Spain have called on Spanish authorities to launch an investigation after a video appeared to show a Spanish police boat briefly mounting a small dinghy carrying people towards the coast of Spain.

The incident took place on Sunday as a vessel carrying four people approached the Spanish semi-exclave of Melilla. The video appeared to show the larger, more powerful Guardia Civil patrol boat veering towards the Zodiac inflatable, making several manoeuvres before skimming over the top of the boat, causing at least one person to fall out of the small vessel.

    No you are downvoted for suggesting that executing people on sight, just for crossing a border, is a nuanced issue.
    The normal thing to do is to arrest people.

    In the 80’s people in Poland were hostages of a totalitarian system, and you may have suffered a kind of Stockholm Syndrome.
