Morocco Police arrest two over mob beating of trans<\/a> woman<\/a> in Fez<\/b><\/p>\n

Police have arrested two men<\/a> over a 29 June attack on a Moroccan transgender woman<\/a> in the city of Fez that went viral online and authorities hope to identify more suspects<\/p>\n

Moroccan authorities have announced the capture of two suspects in a brutal and sustained attack by a mob on a transgender woman<\/a> in the city of Fez last week and are hopeful of making more arrests.<\/p>\n

‘Two suspects have been arrested for the time being and the investigation will continue to determine the responsibility of other persons,’ police said in a statement circulated by Moroccan national news agency MAP.<\/p>\n

While carrying no comment on the right of LGBTI people to be able to live<\/a> in safety, the statement stressed the ‘firm determination of the authorities to take action against those who act outside the law.’<\/p>\n

In the video<\/a> the trans<\/a> woman<\/a> is seen being punched and hit by several unidentified individuals, and as she tries to flee, she is hunted down by the crowd.<\/p>\n

Forcing her to the ground, the crowd is seen striking her and kicking her in the head. One thug used a motorcycle to attack her as she clearly struggled to stay conscious.<\/p>\n

Finding the strength to flee once again, the victim then ran towards a market where a police officer protected her from the clutches of her attackers by drawing his pistol and pointing it in the air.<\/p>\n

It was reported that several glass bottles were thrown at the police car that took the victim away to safety.<\/p>\n

Homosexual acts are punishable by up to three years in prison in Morocco and the country’s laws do not recognise the possibility of gender transition so transgender women<\/a> could potentially be punished under the same law.<\/p>\n

Two gay<\/a> men<\/a> were jailed for four months as recently as 19 June for kissing in public – deemed an ‘affront to public decency’ and an ‘unnatural act with a person of the same sex<\/a>.’<\/p>\n
