Lawyer Humiliated Customs Search Ceuta Border Scandal
A lawyer fell victim to a degrading customs inspection on the Moroccan side of the Ceuta border. Facing serious verbal abuse and intrusive searches, human rights organizations are taking a stand.
What was supposed to be a routine verification turned into a real ordeal for Abdellatif Kanjaâ, registered with the Tétouan bar. The legal professional suffered what was deemed an illegitimate intrusion into his private life during baggage inspection. Agents did not hesitate to go through his confidential medical documents as well as his personal checkbook. Denouncing "humiliating and arbitrary treatment," the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH) specifies that this operation was accompanied by "provocations and verbal violence," completely flouting the principles of human dignity.
