Court sentences five taxi drivers over "Harka" migration
The Tétouan Magistrate's Court issued a sentence of six months in prison and a fine of ten thousand dirhams to five taxi drivers of large taxis (big taxis), after they were prosecuted for assisting illegal migration during the events in Fnideq and their attempts at collective migration towards Ceuta. The National Union of Taxi Drivers confirmed that the drivers were simply transporting citizens normally amid large crowds of people from various regions, without any official restrictions on movement or liability for the passengers' intentions. They emphasized that passenger identification checks fall exclusively within the authority of security officials. The union's regional office urged the court to reconsider the rulings to ensure the legal responsibilities of drivers are respected, stating that holding them accountable for citizens' movement exceeds their authority.
