How did the Spanish judicial system respond to the events at Tarajal beach, and what broader patterns of accountability or impunity does this case represent?

The incident at Tarajal beach in 2014, where Spanish police used rubber bullets and smoke canisters against migrants attempting to enter Ceuta, led to numerous deaths and injuries. Despite a lack of protocol for such equipment in a water environment, a judge dismissed the case against the officers, deeming their actions justified under duty. This decision, along with the ongoing failure to investigate adequately, underscores a pattern of insufficient accountability for human rights violations at Spain's borders.
