Rabat expels Efe and TVE journalists from Castillejos

El Ministerio del Interior de Marruecos ha expulsado a periodistas de Efe y TVE de Castillejos, una ciudad en la frontera con Ceuta, donde habían estado cubriendo la crisis migratoria que se ha producido debido a la entrada irregular de unas 80.000 personas en la ciudad autónoma de Ceuta el 30 y 31 de julio. Los reporteros habían estado cubriendo una carga de las fuerzas antidisturbios marroquíes que habían dispersado a los migrantes, principalmente subsaharianos, utilizando gases lacrimógenos y porras.

El gobierno español, que defiende la libertad de prensa, ha manifestado su preocupación por los periodistas y busca una solución para su situación.
