Spain has sent 16 migrants, including Bangladeshis, back to Morocco after rejecting their asylum applications in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.

The move marks the first such expulsion from Ceuta since a large number of people crossed into the enclave in July.

Spain’s Interior Ministry said Morocco had agreed to accept the migrants, who remain on Moroccan territory. However, it did not disclose their nationalities or the exact number.

Migrant rights groups said the group included citizens of Senegal, Nigeria, Yemen, Cameroon and Bangladesh. They criticised the move, citing safety concerns and the treatment of migrants in Morocco.

Amnesty International researcher Virginia Alvarez told Reuters that “Spain’s position is hypocritical.”

Morocco’s Interior Ministry and the International Organization for Migration did not respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.

Spanish intelligence services said a support network and equipment had helped migrants cross from northern Morocco into Ceuta in July.
