Morocco expels three Spaniards

On Tuesday, January 13, the Moroccan authorities prevented three Spanish activists from entering Laâyoune, in the Moroccan Sahara. Arriving at Hassan I Airport from Las Palmas, these individuals were intercepted and turned away as soon as they disembarked.

This decision is part of the national laws governing entry into the territory. It aims to ensure the maintenance of public order and to protect the territorial integrity of the Kingdom against profiles deemed hostile to national sovereignty.

This measure extends similar provisions already taken in the past. The authorities accuse these individuals of instrumentalizing human rights-related activities to promote theses contrary to Morocco’s interests, particularly regarding the Sahara.
