Dakar - Spain has suspended the repatriation of Senegalese illegal immigrants until further notice because they had been ill-treated while being deported, a Senegalese government official said on Thursday.
The Spanish foreign ministry, for its part, said Dakar had asked Madrid to halt the return of hundreds of Senegalese, after a first group of 99 arrived back on Senegalese soil late on Wednesday.
