RABAT: A Cameroonian immigrant plunged to his death when police raided his fourth-floor apartment in Tangiers, raising tensions in the Moroccan city after a similar death in October, activists said yesterday.
Backup forces entered the Cameroonian’s apartment on Wednesday afternoon, in the suburb of Boukhalef, and he fell from the roof of the building shortly afterwards, rights activist Boubker El Khamlichi said by phone from Tangiers.
The official MAP news agency said members of the security forces arriving at the scene were pelted with stones by “illegal immigrants wanting to exploit the incident, by improvising a march in the form of a funeral procession”.
