Morocco has apprehended a group of individuals allegedly inciting new illegal mass crossings into the Spanish territories of Ceuta and Melilla, according to a report from the Interior Ministry on Wednesday. The ministry revealed that social media platforms were disseminating calls for coordinated attempts to enter the enclaves on August 15.
The ministry stated that they had been monitoring anonymous posts and messages in recent days, which appeared to be promoting incitement acts punishable under Moroccan law. The authorities have implemented all necessary measures to prevent illegal crossings and to apprehend those attempting to engage in such activities, the ministry affirmed.
Legal proceedings would also be initiated against individuals spreading such messages online. The ministry did not disclose the exact number of arrests or the specific dates of these actions, but confirmed that a group of people suspected of incitement were detained and are currently under judicial investigation, with the guidance of the appropriate public prosecutor.
