Hi,
I have a friend that is being held against her will by an ex-boyfriend that she went to visit. She is Vietnamese. She wishes to return to Vietnam but the man is locking her in his house. He is French, has a maid and driver that watch her. He has punched her and cut her hand open breaking her phone. He trying to prevent her from getting help to leave. She had 2 phones. I have not heard back in a week. I believe he found her other phone and smashed it.
Myself, I am a westerner. I don't have any idea what could be done. What he is doing is certainly against French law but I don't know what sort of reaction the police in Morocco would have to such a report. And I don't know if the French embassy would do anything on her behalf. I am trying to contact the Vietnamese officials to see if they work with anyone in Morocco - I am not hopeful about that. I do not yet have the exact address of the apartment where she is being held.
IF anyone has reliable knowledge of the Moroccan law in this situation or someone who may be able to advise us, it will be very much appreciated.
Thank You for your attention.
