Algerian illegal immigrants missing since six months

Families of 14 illegal immigrants in Chlef, western Algeria, called upon the authorities, including the Foreign Affairs Minister, to take an urgent action to investigate in the circumstances of the disappearance of their children, who do not appear since the date of their journey towards the Spanish coasts in the ninth of September 2012.

These families suggest that their sons are held in Moroccan prisons or in Spanish detentions, where they are living in fear and anticipation, since they launched their secret journey in the night of the ninth September of last year, on a boat towards Spanish coasts, but they did not appear since that date.

Those are only hypotheses of families, which agreed that their sons were arrested by the Moroccan authorities, pushing them to ask the Algerian authorities to immediately intervene through opening an investigation and reveal the fate of the missing illegal immigrants, and reveal if they are alive or dead, or if they were imprisoned, where are they?

The fourteen illegal immigrants are aged between 24 and 40 years, sailed in a quiet night after they prepared their journey so well, and were among a group consisting of 27 youth, divided into two groups, on board of two boats, they sailed away from the beach of Sidi Abdel Rahman, hoping to reach the Spanish shores, and in the open sea a large ship passed between them and dispersed the two boats, then they disappeared due to the thick fog.
