Ir\u00eddia has lodged an appeal<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mahamat, a survivor of the massacre of 24 June 2022 at the Melilla border and co-founder of Refugees in Libya, today denounced the impunity surrounding the events at a press conference held at the Col\u00b7legi de Periodistes de Catalunya (Catalan Association of Journalists) in Barcelona. He was joined by Ir\u00eddia, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR), the Popular Union of Street Vendors of Barcelona and the Regularizaci\u00f3n Ya movement. On 15 October, a court in Melilla provisionally dismissed his criminal complaint: it acknowledges that the facts constitute a crime, but says they cannot be attributed to anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mahamat explained that, from the way the officers treated him, it seemed he had no right to seek asylum and that all that awaited him was to be beaten and expelled. \u201cThat day I lost my dignity, with my hands tied. I ask myself where the limit of this cruelty lies,\u201d he said. He fled Sudan when he was seven years old and travelled through Chad, Libya, Algeria and Morocco before reaching the Melilla border. \u201cWe don\u2019t travel for pleasure. We are looking for a safe place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mahamat remembered his best friend, who disappeared that day: \u201cWe travelled together and dreamed together. It has left a void in me that makes me wonder when we will get justice.\u201d He also explained that he still receives messages from victims\u2019 families: \u201cThey ask me whether they are alive, whether they are in prison. I can\u2019t give them answers. All I know is that many of them fell in front of me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will not stop until justice and true reparation are delivered, for those who arrived and for those who got stuck,\u201d Mahamat concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What the complaint alleges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ir\u00eddia is bringing the case together with its international partners: ECCHR, PRO ASYL and the Digital Freedom Fund (DFF). It filed the criminal complaint on 23 December 2025 against one of the commanders of the operation, who has been identified, and against the officers who intervened. The facts could constitute torture, aggravated bodily harm, failure to assist a person in danger and malfeasance in public office. The complaint also invokes the aggravating circumstances of racist motivation and abuse of their position as law enforcement officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mahamat told the officers that he wanted to seek asylum and that he had refugee status recognised by UNHCR. While he was on the ground, detained and following orders, an officer struck him on the head with a baton, causing a traumatic brain injury and loss of consciousness. He was then kept handcuffed for hours among injured and dead people and forcibly returned to Morocco without any procedure. Officers also prevented the Red Cross from treating him. An expert report by the Sira Centre, carried out in line with the Istanbul Protocol, concludes that his account is highly consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A dismissal without investigation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court took five months to open proceedings. It has now dismissed the case without ordering any of the investigative measures requested to identify the officers, such as the duty rosters or footage from the border cameras, the helicopter and the drone. Nor has it taken a statement from the victim or responded to the request to join the case to the ongoing investigation into the events of 24J.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe case is being dismissed because the perpetrator is unknown, without any investigation having been carried out to identify them. This is a high-tech border built to monitor migrants, but it stops working when torture needs to be investigated,\u201d said Laura Medina, a lawyer at Ir\u00eddia. Medina also criticised the Public Prosecutor\u2019s Office, which is demanding that the victim provide evidence that the officers themselves prevented him from obtaining: \u201cOnce again, those who should have protected the victim have turned their backs on him.\u201d The European Court of Human Rights has ruled against Spain 14 times for violating the prohibition of torture, 13 of them for failing to conduct an effective investigation. \u201cDismissing a case without investigating it guarantees impunity,\u201d Medina concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Impunity beyond Melilla<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInternational law is very clear on the obligation to effectively investigate acts of torture. Dismissing this investigation is not only a breach of that obligation, but also a deliberate attempt to maintain impunity for State forces and to normalise violence against migrants at Spain\u2019s borders,\u201d said Silvia Rojas-Castro of ECCHR. \u201cThat is why we are calling on the Spanish State to shed light on the events of 24J, including the fate of those who died or disappeared, and to hold those responsible for this violence to account.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lamine Sarr, spokesperson for the Sindicat de Manters (Street Vendors\u2019 Union) and Regularizaci\u00f3n Ya, placed the case in the context of structural racism: \u201cWhen it comes to migrants, all too often there are no rigorous investigations and no proper follow-up of cases. No one should be above the law: neither the police nor politicians.\u201d Sarr added: \u201cWe are human beings. We are not disposable objects. We are people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The impact of impunity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cViolence does not end when the beatings end. It continues through its impacts and through the State\u2019s inaction,\u201d said Paula Rossi, psychologist and migration and border lead at Ir\u00eddia. Rossi explained that dismissing a case without investigating it tells the victim that their account does not matter, and turns the search for justice into a new experience of being left unprotected. \u201cImpunity in border contexts is not a failure of the system: it is the system.\u201d On 24 June 2022, the crackdown by Moroccan and Spanish security forces at the Melilla border left at least 37 people dead and 76 missing, and around 470 people were summarily returned to Morocco. More than four years later, no one has been held accountable. With the appeal, Ir\u00eddia is asking for the dismissal to be overturned and for the case to be joined to the ongoing investigation into the events of 24J.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watch the press conference:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gShNwqSd8YU\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-black-background-color has-background is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-d05cb3ef wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading text-2xl pt-2 pb-2 has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\">To fight impunity, we don&#8217;t give out grants.<br>Help us to continue defending human rights.<br>Support our work.<br>Share this case.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div style=\"--wp--block-button--width: 100;\" class=\"wp-block-button button-iridia is-style-fill has-custom-width wp-block-button__width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-medium-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/iridia.cat\/en\/fem-iridia\/\">Become a member<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"publications\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1793283429\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"\u201cI ask myself where the limit of this cruelty lies\u201d: 24J survivor appeals dismissal of his criminal complaint against Spain\u2019s Guardia Civil\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/iridia.cat\/en\/\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A court in Melilla acknowledges that the facts constitute a crime, but closes the case because the perpetrators are unknown, without having investigated.
