Five Yemeni refugees arrived in Ceuta this weekend, from Morocco. The asylum seekers swam across the Mediterranean for two days before reaching the Spanish enclave.
The refugees are currently under the guardianship of Spanish authorities.
According to Spanish news agency EFE, three of them arrived this Saturday, December 4 to Ceuta while two others arrived this Sunday.
The three refugees that arrived yesterday saw two of them illegally expelled by Spanish authorities, which the Moroccan Association of Human Rights (AMDH) denounced.
They tried to re-enter Morocco and went through interrogations from the Moroccan police, who said they had to return to Spain after finding out they were asylum seekers.
The refugees had to spend the night in no man’s land with blankets and food that Moroccan agents provided.
Spanish authorities eventually let the two men enter Ceuta today, as the group is currently admitted to the Temporary Immigrant Stay Center (CETI).
Another two Yemeni asylum seekers swam into Ceuta today and were interned in the CETI as well.
