Morocco-Algeria Border: 37 Moroccans Handed Over to Authorities, Hundreds of Others Blocked
The Algerian authorities have handed over 37 Moroccans in an irregular situation at the Zouj Beghal border post. This third operation of the year is part of a context of prolonged detention for hundreds of other nationals.
The operation took place with relief for the families who came to welcome these men, most of them from the Oriental region, but also from cities like Tangier or Fez.

However, the overall situation remains worrying. More than 550 cases of Moroccans in difficulty on Algerian soil are currently recorded, including convictions sometimes exceeding a decade. Among them, about a hundred people are in the process of being expelled, prompting human rights defenders to demand a general amnesty from the Algerian presidency.

In the name of international law, the restitution of six bodies kept in the morgues of Tlemcen, Oran and Béchar is also demanded. At the same time, associations are alerting to the proliferation of fraud networks exploiting the distress of relatives, while saluting the essential work of Algerian lawyers who provide legal assistance to these detainees.
