Defense sends to the court Amnesty International's complaint about military torture of immigrants in Ceuta

Amnesty International has reported cases of "torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment" of immigrants and asylum seekers in Ceuta. The NGO claims that these actions are carried out by members of the Spanish Armed Forces, specifically units of Regulares and La Legión. According to Amnesty International, these incidents appear to follow a pattern of abuse against migrants in Ceuta, who are left vulnerable. The cases have occurred since 70,000 to 80,000 people entered the city on July 30 and 31.
