Another night of violence in La Linea 14th May 2021
Violence in La Linea escalated on Wednesday night as people once again took to the streets to protest the deaths of two men at sea for the third day.
A shot was fired at a Spanish police van, missiles including Molotov cocktails were thrown at officers, a Policia Nacional van was set on fire and skips were torched as the violence spread to other parts of the city.
A peaceful protest was held earlier on Wednesday afternoon, where crowds who blame law enforcement agencies for the deaths called for “justice” for the two men, aged 19 and 51.
