Embassy staff threatened
Members of the staff at the Norwegian Embassy in Morocco have received serious threats in connection with a difficult child custody case, in which the father allegedly kidnapped his two children. The man is charged with kidnapping and bringing his two children, aged 13 and 16 from Norway to Rabat in Morocco, where they have been kept for two-and-a-half years. Ten days ago the children escaped and found their way to the Norwegian Embassy in Rabat, and stayed there for several days. During this time the father tried to contact the children, and made serious threats against embassy staff members. The children eventually left the embassy and were met by their mother who managed to bring them back to Norway.
Note EU-Digest: Even though Norway is not a member of the EU this issue is also one which has plagued several other countries in the EU and should be reviewed at the highest political EU level.
