In the summer of 2017, Fatima Ofkir, then 18 years old, made a big mistake. The young Catalan woman was arrested in the Sultanate of Oman accused of drug trafficking. She is currently serving a life sentence in prison but desperately wants to return to her home country. Cristina Tomàs White and Guifré Jordan join Lorcan Doherty to discuss the case, and we hear from Fatima's mother Rosario Reyes who shares her anguish and frustration at the lack of developments. This week's Catalan phrase is 'fer l'orni', which means 'to turn a blind eye'.
