One of them was found to be in possession of a small black bag containing something the police and a judge were to deem 'illegal in Morocco'a "Bibles. The penalties totaled nearly half a million dollars, plus imprisonmenta "a pronouncement that contributed to his death.' Graham and two Canadians sailed into Morocco's Marina Smir. Everything went smoothly, and they were prepared for a pleasant five-day stay. On their second day, they and a French couple were arrested without explanation. They were taken to a center where they were interrogated without a lawyer or interpreter present, despite Graham's persistent requests. They soon found themselves attending a trial for charges they didn't understand. The claim? That they had failed to pay duty on some Bibles.
