It's been 48 hours since Fátima Ofkir landed at Barcelona airport to return home to Hospitalet de Llobregat. The family and friends who welcomed her had been waiting for her for years. Ofkir has spent seven years—since she was 18—in a women's prison in Oman, sentenced to life imprisonment for bringing a suitcase containing seven kilos of morphine to that country. This Tuesday, she spoke publicly about what she experienced, for the first time since her release following an amnesty. "I will not waste this second chance at life, and I will do a service to society," she told the fifty media outlets who came to hear her.

The young Catalan woman Fátima Ofkir, released by Omani authorities after spending seven years in a women's prison sentenced to life imprisonment, landed at Barcelona airport this Sunday morning amid the excitement of family and friends. Ofkir, from Hospitalet de Llobregat, has been included in the amnesty that the Sultan grants each year after Ramadan, according to the Catalan woman's defense team, Vosseler Abogados. The law firm has thanked everyone who collaborated in her release, and in particular businessman Antonio Sagnier and Judge Baltasar Garzón.
