AI analysis

Missing context

The article does not provide details about any independent investigations, legal proceedings, or the specific evidence that Amnesty International used to document the alleged abuses. It also lacks information about the scale of the alleged incidents, the response of the military, or any prior history of similar allegations in Ceuta.

Important context
