16-year-old Muslim teenager from Melilla was killed, on Thursday evening by a rubber bullet fired at close range by the Spanish Civil Guard, in clashes between demonstrators and the police in the "La Canada de Hidume" neighborhood in the occupied city of Melilla, media reported on Friday.
The young Younès died of his wounds, the same sources said, adding that the victim's body was taken by law enforcement officers to an unknown destination.
For three days, large demonstrations of young people, who are complaining of discrimination in employment, raged the occupied city of Melilla.
The same sources added that the various security services in Spain were surprised by the scale of these demonstrations.
“Neither the Civil Guard nor any other service in the Iberian Peninsula anticipated this outburst of violence between the young people of Melilla, who are mostly of Moroccan origin, and the police, causing injuries from both sides and material damage,” the media quoted some observers as saying.
The Spanish government delegation to Melilla has endeavored to give the riots an image of a simple claim of employment, while the youths are demanding recognition of their rights as natives of Melilla.
These youths consider themselves victims of injustice in their own city, accusing the authorities of granting advantages, to their detriment, to Spaniards from Malaga or Almeria, spain.
