Police in Spain free four migrants hidden in car's false bottom...

Spanish police freed four young African migrants found squeezed into a hidden compartment of a minivan with no ventilation at a border crossing from Morocco into Spain and arrested the driver, they said Monday.

The migrants - a woman from Congo and three men from Guinea - were found on Sunday when police at the crossing between Morocco and the Spanish territory of Melilla grew suspicious and searched the vehicle.

They were crammed inside a "hermetic false bottom with no ventilation" located below the front seats of the minivan, police said in a statement.

The woman began yelling in French: "Please, please, get me out of here. I'm scared. I don't feel my legs and my feet are really swollen!".

 Firefighters had to use an electric saw and other tools to free the migrants who were all in "very poor physical shape" and in need of medical care. Full story...
