300 migrants attempt their way into Spanish borders

Some 300 undocumented migrants tried on night to force their way into the Spanish presidio of Melilia, says the Moroccan interior ministry. According to the source, the candidates to illegal migration did not heed the customary warnings and threw stones at the Moroccan security forces, injuring 4 of them. The source also said 65 persons were arrested, including 14 who were taken to the Hassani hospital in Nador for injuries caused by the barbed wire surrounding the occupied city of Melilia. The Moroccan authorities renew their resolve to implement the new immigration policy, launched by King Mohammed VI, and to lend humanism to immigration issues handling, while tirelessly fighting against criminal human trafficking networks, says the interior ministry.   The Moroccan authorities also voiced satisfaction at the coordination with their Spanish counterpart to stop the growing flows of illegal migration from Morocco's eastern borders.
