Moroccan Official Suspended for Harassing American Peace Corps Volunteer

While staying in the region, the American national had informed the American Consulate of the harassment she had been subjected to by the municipal official.

Things could have stopped at the stage of verbal harassment, if the accused, in his thirties, had not tried one evening to break into the victim’s home, with the help of his assistant.

Alerted by the American Consulate, the provincial governor immediately took disciplinary action against him, suspending him permanently from his duties.
