When one of the phones pinged its position the very following day, they hurried to the nearest police officer for assistance.
“We saw these guys with the police car near the hotel and we went to contact them,” she added, describing the incident.
“And we don’t speak Arabic, we don’t speak French, so I was trying to communicate in English and with Google Translate.”
“They were just ignoring us, so I grabbed the phone and I started to record them, to show to people: if you’re a tourist in Marrakesh and you need police, they’re just going to ignore you.”
“When I did that, they handcuffed me and my husband, and they threw us in a police car and took us to the police station.”
