Alarming reports reveal sexual assaults on minor girls in occupied Ceuta

Explicit data from medical and judicial sources in the occupied city of Ceuta have sounded the alarm following the recording of disturbing levels of violence and serious abuses against migrant minors who recently arrived in the occupied enclave under complex humanitarian conditions lacking basic protection.

Shocking details and cases unrecorded in official reports

Health data from the University Hospital in the occupied city indicate the admission of at least five minor girls, no older than 14, for recovery after being subjected to sexual assaults in occupied Ceuta. Medical sources emphasize that these figures do not reflect the critical reality, as many victims refrain from filing official complaints with the authorities due to fear or intimidation, leaving other cases hidden and suffering in silence on the streets and in public spaces.

Ongoing judicial investigations and lack of arrests

On the judicial level, the Public Prosecutor’s Office has launched investigation procedures into two cases officially documented in recent days. Despite the opening of these legal proceedings, Spanish security agencies have not recorded any arrests of suspects to date. Concern is mounting in light of testimonies confirming that local residents intervened to thwart additional assault attempts in the absence of the required security response; some citizens were even able to identify individuals involved who reside regularly in the city.

Human rights warnings and calls for urgent intervention

These harrowing events have renewed warnings issued by Spanish human rights organizations regarding the vulnerability of minors in the occupied enclave. Officials from migrant aid organizations emphasized that children left on the streets suffer from constant violence and beatings, noting that some migrants are no more than ten years old, making them—especially girls—vulnerable to human trafficking networks and violent exploitation.

In this regard, “Save the Children” stressed the need for relevant authorities to act urgently to register and track all minors and provide them with safe shelter, to stop the stream of serious violations affecting their dignity and physical integrity.
