Horror Film on a Migrant Ship Between Morocco and Spain

The Spanish Civil Guard and its rescue service announced today, Wednesday, that four migrants have died after being thrown from a rubber boat just meters away from a beach in Cádiz, southern Spain. A total of 27 migrants were on board, with 23 of them arriving alive. Photos shared on social media and circulated in local media showed a black rubber boat swirling in heavy waves off the coast, and also depicted people on the boat pushing others into the water to start swimming through the waves. Reuters was unable to verify the authenticity of the photos. Witness Javier González told a local television channel, "We saw a smuggling boat arriving, but it was not for drug smuggling, but for migrants. Suddenly, they started jumping, and some were thrown overboard. There are also photos showing one of the leaders aiming a weapon at a migrant, as if saying 'jump or I'll shoot you'."
