Moroccan political activist turned refugee to appear in court accused of human trafficking in Greece
The Moroccan government has jailed Hamza Haddi three times for his activism during the ‘Arab Spring’ and for his work with the Moroccan Association for Human Rights
TWO Moroccan refugees will appear in a Greek court on Tuesday on charges of human trafficking.
Hamza Haddi and Mohamed Haddar entered Greece on July 22 after fleeing oppression and political persecution in Morocco.
Haddi had been imprisoned three times in his home country in 2012, 2013 and 2014 for his active role in the 2011 uprising widely known as the “Arab Spring” and for his subsequent work with the Moroccan Association for Human Rights.
