    Amnesty International accused Spain and Morocco of orchestrating a coverup of the of the events leading to the carnage at Melilla. Amnesty International on Friday accused Spain and Morocco of a cover-up for failing to properly investigate events at the border of the Spanish enclave of Melilla last year, when tens of migrants and refugees died during a mass attempted crossing. On June 24 2002, around 2,000 Sub-Saharan African migrants and refugees attempted to enter Spain’s North African enclave from Morocco. Morocco said 23 people died in a crush when migrants fell from the fence, and Spain has said no deaths occurred on its soil. Spain’s Attorney General investigated the Melilla incident but declined to charge Spanish officers who he said had been unaware of the fatal crush.
