Supporters of Ceuta migrants invoke religious teachings on human dignity, arguing that faith traditions obligate authorities to treat every person with compassion, and that beating migrants contradicts the moral law upheld by Spain's religious heritage.
Supporters of Ceuta migrants invoke religious teaching on human dignity, arguing that soldiers' alleged beatings violate moral duties owed to the vulnerable regardless of legal status.
