Fàtima Ofkir
Fàtima Ofkir is a young Spanish woman from Catalonia who gained international attention after being sentenced to life imprisonment in Oman for drug trafficking. Captured by a narcotics ring at the age of 18, she was arrested in 2018 for attempting to transport seven kilograms of morphine. Her case drew significant scrutiny due to alleged irregularities in her legal representation and the harsh conditions she faced in prison, where she was required to wear a burka and had limited communication with her family. In 2023, she was released after seven years in prison as part of a royal amnesty granted by Sultan Haitham bin Tariq.
