Migrants and Asylum Seekers In The Canary Islands

The government of Spain is violating the rights of migrants and asylum seekers who arrive illegally on Spanish shores. The report, "The Other Face of the Canary Islands: Rights Violations Against Migrants and Asylum Seekers," criticizes substandard detention conditions and the inadequate procedural rights afforded migrants and asylum seekers upon their arrival on the Spanish islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. The report triggered a roaring debate on migrants' rights in Spain.
