Man Caught Smuggling Daughter By Hiding Her In A Suitcase
A desperate Moroccan father who was caught trying to smuggle his daughter into Spain by hiding her in his luggage has been told she can stay in the country. Customs officials found 8-year-old Haniya Kanaan
curled up inside a small suitcase after her single father Ayham, 38, entered Spain on a legal work permit through the Andalusian port of Tarifa.
Although Kanaan faces a fine for trying to smuggle his daughter into the country in the hope of giving her a better life, a judge has ruled that she can live with her father for as long as he works in Spain, adding that she will also be allowed to enrol at a local school.
Customs officers were shocked to find the little girl hidden inside a suitcase while searching her father’s car following his return to Spain after a family visit to Morocco.
Haniya was discovered curled up inside a purple suitcase on the back seat of the vehicle. The eight-year-old was taken to hospital after being released from the luggage, with doctors saying she was lucky to be alive following the dangerous stunt.
They said she could easily have been left with brain damage after being shut in the suitcase, and had already started showing physical signs of a lack of oxygen.
Had there been delays at the border crossing, it is possible she may even have died.Kanaan was arrested while still at the port in the town of Tarifa, which is on the coast of southern Spain and has regular ferry services to and from North Africa.
