Harassment in Marrakech: a British tourist praises the efficiency of the Moroccan police

A British national expressed her gratitude towards the Moroccan police after the rapid arrest of a suspect who had harassed her in the medina. She praised the intervention of the authorities, stating that this act did not represent the Moroccan people.

The young woman wanted to publicly thank the police services for the speed of their reaction after the aggression. "The justice in your country works," she said, specifying that the speed of the police intervention allowed her to measure the exceptional nature of this incident.

The case began on Friday, March 13, after the release of a video showing an individual bothering the tourist in the alleys of the medina. The police services reacted with the utmost attention to the posting of these images on social networks.

Technical investigations and field research made it possible to formally identify the suspect, who was arrested shortly afterwards. The authorities specified that the case was already being monitored by the competent services even before the arrest.
