Controversial video on Ceuta tragedy released by Spanish Civil Guard as response to criticism

The Civil Guard has released a video recorded before and after the tragedy of Ceuta where at least 14 people died last Thursday while trying to reach the Spanish coast swimming.

The Civil Guard use this video as a response to criticism from the opposition groups and NGOs because of their actions during the attempt to jump the border fence by the migrants, but it really does not explain anything: images, recorded by security cameras, do not show neither the desperate attempt of Sub-Saharans to reach Spanish territory swimming nor the attitude of the agents, which do not appear in the video.

It shows the arrival of hundreds of migrants to the border, and after a cut off, how some of them throwed stones, but this second part was allegedly recorded after their companions drown in beach of Tarajal after skirting the border jetty , not before.

Thus, the video criminalize migrants, while not bring light on what happened in the water and, most importantly, how was the behaviour of the Spanish agents, who have been accused by some survivors of shooting rubber bullets to the migrants.
