Summary of the case: On Sunday the 19th of June 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of eight travellers, seven men and one woman, in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left from Al Hoceima in the early hours of the morning, heading towards Motril. We were not able to establish direct contact to the boat but alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo to the distress of the travellers. In the afternoon, the relative told us that the travellers had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy and subjected to physical violence.
