Moroccan police arrested six migrants from sub-Saharan Africa on Monday, accused of being involved in “violence against law enforcement officers” during an evacuation operation of migrant camps in Casablanca, local media reported.
The suspects “threw stones at law enforcement officers” who were conducting an operation to evacuate illegal migrant camps near the Oulad Ziane bus station in the megapolis Casablanca, the Hespress news website reported.
One policeman was injured and five police vehicles were damaged as a result of the violence, the state-owned SNRTnews said on its website.
