Another One? Moroccan Migrant Suffocates To Death Whilst Being Smuggled To Spain In A Suitcase

Really, what are people so desperate to escape that they are willing to take all these insane risks?

I mean things are bad but braving the seas in little, overcrowded boats and dying in suitcases, these are just insane.

A Moroccan migrant who was being smuggled to Spain in a suitcase by his brother suffocated to death inside the suitcase. He was inside the suitcase, which was in the boot of his brother’s car as they crossed a ferry from Spain’s North African enclave of Melilla to the mainland Spanish city of Almeria.

The surviving brother, who has a French passport, has since been charged with involuntary manslaughter.

This comes after a case in May, when an Ivorian boy was smuggled to Spain also in a suitcase, and was found in terrible condition by authorities. He could have died in that case, as happened to this recent migrant.
