Recollection of the facts:

Mr. Karim Khader (كريم خادر) is 30 years old and of dual British-Moroccan citizenship; he is an air-conditioning engineer and normally lives in London in the United Kingdom. He was arrested 24 June 2011 at 5:30 am at the port of Tanger where he was disembarking from a ship with his father-in-law.

The police of the port of Tanger seized his mobile phone before handcuffing him. He was not informed of the reason for his arrest.

It was not until the 28th of June that a police officer contacted Mr. Khader's family-in-law in Larache (town in north-Morocco) to tell them that he could be found at the central police station of Al-Maarif in Casablanca.
