The Fes Police Department issued a statement to clarify the facts surrounding a video circulated on social media, featuring a foreign woman claiming she was verbally assaulted due to racial background.
The incident dates back to September 6, when a dispute arose between a Portuguese tourist and a family of Moroccan expatriates, stemming from a misunderstanding regarding photographing them without permission.
The tourist contacted the tourism police to provide clarification on the situation but expressed no interest in pursuing the matter or filing an official complaint.
In its statement, the Fes Police confirmed that the disagreement was incidental and did not involve any racial or discriminatory motives, contrary to what was suggested in the video.
The police emphasized that the misunderstanding between the parties was due to suspicions regarding unauthorized photography, which led to the conflict, and had no connection to any religious or ethnic discrimination.
The Fes Police Department expressed its commitment to clarifying the facts to the public and stressed the importance of not falling prey to misleading or distorted information that could exacerbate negative sentiments among different cultures.
It is essential that open dialogue and understanding among cultures prevail in our society, and the Fes Police remain dedicated to maintaining security and order while ensuring a safe environment for all citizens and visitors alike.
