Spanish Maritime Rescue Intercepts Moroccan Migrants Attempting Kayak Crossing to Europe
On June 3rd, three Moroccans attempted to reach Europe, specifically Spain, by crossing the Mediterranean in a kayak. But they were intercepted by the Spanish maritime rescue.
Three Moroccans were intercepted by the Atria Salvamar (the maritime rescue unit) as they were trying to illegally immigrate to Spain by kayak. Several questions arise! Was it premeditated and well-thought-out? Or were they just joking around in the kayak before deciding to try their luck?
In any case, according to El Faro de Ceuta, the Moroccans were transported to the quay (in Spain) and after a detour through the Red Cross, they were escorted back to the Atria Salvamar headquarters for deportation to Morocco. A deportation that should take place via the Tarajal border post.
Very recently, an illegal immigrant also tried to reach Spain by wearing special clothes reserved for those working on ferries. But while it could have worked, he was anxious and this raised the suspicions of the Guardia civil agents.
