Episode 6 — Dragged through the water and back to Morocco by the Spanish military

A diplomatic rift last week between the governments of Spain and Morocco resulted in the Spanish military tear-gassing children and brutally forcing hundreds of people back across the border at Ceuta. In today's episode we speak with Irina, an activist from Spanish NGO No Name Kitchen, who tells us what she witnessed at Europe's border with Morocco. She also tells us how No Name Kitchen has been fighting the systematic abuse of undocumented people in the city before last week's events, and how the current crackdown is not just a risk for refugees and migrants but also for the racialised people who have been living there for decades. --- Show notes --- For more on The Civil Fleet visit civilfleet.com You can find a glossary of the terms used in this episode here: bit.ly/3kGhkt0 For more on No Name Kitchen, see: nonamekitchen.org, and find them on twitter on @NoNameKitchen1 You can find No Name Kitchen's statement and demands to the Spanish authorities here: bit.ly/3vb8tnr Get in touch: @FleetCivil facebook.com/TheCivilFleet [email protected]
