SOS Racism calls for an end to "traps": police summon "undocumented" people with whom they intervene

Pamplona

The Papeles y Derechos Denontzat, Médecins del Mundo and SOS Racismo collectives have appeared in the foral Parliament to report that police officers in Navarra are handing out "traps" to people with whom they intervene when they are found to be in an irregular administrative situation.

The spokesman for SOS Racism Navarra, Beatriz Villahizán, explained in the first call of the day that since the last time they denounced this situation in the SER-last November-"nothing has changed at all. In fact, on 12 November we made our complaint public and made public that we were going to question the institutions we considered responsible, of which we received a reply, not a reply, from two of them."

That is why they have gone to the foral Parliament, where they have demanded "to give us information, to find out if there is such an investigation-we know that there is, but we do not know of it-cooperation between the various police officers to summon foreign citizens in an irregular administrative situation to assess the initiation of expulsion cases. We believe that this is an irregular and illegitimate practice and that it should be supported by a legal report".

Villahizán has stated that "it is very difficult to detect this practice because it brings together two fundamental aspects: persons in an irregular administrative situation are a particularly vulnerable group legally speaking who, for fear of worsening their situation, does not generally come to report or report this act, especially if the person who carried it out is a police officer".
