Controversial Deportation of Moroccan Women Sparks Outrage at Dubai Airport
UAE Authorities Face Criticism Over Decision to Deny Entry Despite Valid Documents, Raising Questions About Discrimination and Hidden Motives.
Watan-Recently, Dubai Airport witnessed an incident that sparked widespread controversy after UAE authorities decided to deport a group of Moroccan women and return them to their country immediately upon arrival, despite them possessing all official documents and valid visas for entry.
The Moroccan women had submitted documents confirming the reasons for their visits, which ranged from work, study, attending training programs, or other legitimate activities. However, the border police at Dubai Airport insisted on enforcing the decision without providing any official explanation for the reasons behind it.
This measure, implemented several days ago, provoked anger and significant frustration among the women who were forced to return to Morocco, particularly due to the embarrassment and psychological harm they endured. The decision also raised questions about its true motivations, especially in light of the UAE authorities’ silence regarding the background of the decision.
Unofficial sources linked this incident to a social media post that circulated a few days earlier, involving a young woman, allegedly Moroccan, who claimed to have been subjected to a brutal gang assault by well-known figures in Dubai. According to reports, the woman had been lured with the promise of spending a night with a millionaire for a large sum of money, only to find herself a victim of a shocking crime that stirred widespread outrage on social platforms.
So far, no official statement has been issued by UAE authorities clarifying the connection between this incident and the decision to ban Moroccan women from entry. However, the timing of the two events has fueled speculation about a potential link between them. The incident has also sparked debates between Moroccans and Emiratis on social media, with some viewing the decision as unjustified targeting.
For its part, the Moroccan authorities have not announced any steps to intervene or investigate the circumstances surrounding these decisions, which harm the image of Moroccan women and reinforce feelings of discrimination. Human rights organizations have called for urgent clarifications from the UAE side regarding these measures, which they described as violating the dignity and legal rights of travelers.
