The Las Palmas Court orders the release of a Senegalese minor who had been imprisoned in Gran Canaria for 82 days. The young man, who has insisted at all times that he is 17 years old and is accused of being the boss of a canoe, had been in prison since he arrived on the island in December.

The U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child reported on Monday that it granted protection to the minor. The case has reached the United Nations and calls for “precautionary measures”
