On Oct 27, 2016 Morocco World News reported: In Spain, Moroccans seeking asylum have little chance of being admitted into the country. Moroccan publication Assabah reported on Thursday that the main reason for the denial of these applications seems to be their Moroccan nationality, despite having the support of various human rights groups. Not a difficult conclusion to make, since applications from asylum-seekers from other countries have been approved by Spanish authorities.Some Gay Moroccans seeking asylum have been living in Melilia welcome centers for well over a year, hoping that their application will one day be accepted.
In the past few days, after having been denied once again, they’ve taken organized a sit-in and to the streets to protest.
