Spain: Revolts in Detention Centre

March 15, 2010

On March 12, 2010, migrants started with a revolt insied Aluche detention centre and set fire.

"I'm racist and I want to send you back to your fucking country, bastard", is what a policeman said to an Angolan migrant before kicking him in the belly and putting him into a straitjacket because he refused to get on the boat (to be deported). The detainee was sent back to Aluche's detention centre in a semi-conscious state, to be then taken to a hospital a few hours later. He already had a serious disease.
