The trial of Abdelali Hamieddine, leader of the Justice and Development Party (PJD), who was previously acquitted on 11/7/2023 by the judicial body of the First Instance Criminal Chamber of the Fez Court of Appeal of the crime of premeditated murder, while the same judicial body convicted him of the crime of ‘beating and wounding leading to death without intent, after reclassification’, has been set for 24 June.
In a new development, the trial of Abdelali Hamieddine, a leader of the Justice and Development Party (PJD), has been set for 24 June. The case, which dates back more than thirty years and relates to the death of leftist student Mohamed Ait El-Geid, has sparked much debate and controversy in legal and political circles in Morocco.
Hamieddine, who was previously acquitted of murder in July 2023, was charged with ‘beating and wounding leading to death without intent’ and sentenced to three years in prison. The initial judgement was met with mixed reactions, with some arguing that it did not achieve the required justice, while others considered it harsh and disproportionate.
The case dates back to an incident in the early 1990s and has seen many legal developments over the years. The July 2023 verdict, in which the charges were recharacterised, sparked much debate about the concept of justice and legal responsibility.
As the appeal date approaches, all eyes are once again on the Fez Court of Appeal, where the case will be heard again. This appeal marks a new chapter in a long-running case and demonstrates the complexities that legal and political issues can involve in Morocco.
