Las patrullas vecinales alientan brotes de violencia contra los inmigrantes en barrios de Ceuta

On a Saturday afternoon, Sandra López, Ceuta's PSOE Policy Secretary, encountered a group of immigrants while taking her dog for a walk near the shooting range. One of the immigrants, Adil, who was around 25 years old, approached her and asked her how to reach the Benzú neighborhood. She directed him through a shorter route, which involved passing through the Postigo area.

Adil refused to follow, despite her insistence that he do so. Eventually, he showed her cuts on his legs, torso, and a deep wound on his left arm, explaining that these were the result of physical assaults he had experienced in that neighborhood. She took photographs of his injuries and asked why he hadn't reported the incident to the police.

He dismissed her concerns, stating that he feared being detained and deported from Ceuta if he were to go to the police station. Adil and his companions then continued walking towards Benzú, taking a circuitous route of several kilometers to avoid the alleged aggressors.
