The young Catalan Fàtima ofkir has been released by Oman’s authorities after spending seven years in a women’s prison of the sultanate sentenced to life imprisonment for morphine traffic, when included in the amnesty that. The defense of the woman, Vosseler Abogados, announced this Saturday her release through a statement, in which she thanks all those who have collaborated in their release, and in particular to the businessman Antonio Sagnier and Judge Baltasar Garzón.
Ofkir was in prison for seven years under life imprisonment after a network of drug traffickers in Spain and sent to collect a package with seven kilograms of morphine to an Omar Hotel with the aim of transporting it to its country. Although the young woman regretted before carrying out her mission, the Omar police broke into her hotel and found the drug cargo in a closet. Since then (August 2018, when I was 18), Fàma has been imprisoned in Moscat’s women’s prison. In the statement, Vosseler Lawyers highlights that the judicial process of Ofkir was “full of irregularities”, and regret the “very serious mistakes” made by their first lawyer, of which they say “he limited himself to getting the money gathered by the family in Spain without diligently covering the case in a trial in which Fàtima was totally homeless, without knowing or understanding anything.”
Fàtima became the youngest Spanish in the world fulfilling a sentence in a foreign country, in a penalty in which he was “forced to use a burka that covers the entire body, pray five times a day and could only talk with her family a minute every fifteen days.” According to the statement of his defense, Ofkir was given the option to change his life imprisonment for capital punishment, “a terrible option that she, in a very strong depression, was raised.”
