In a move with significant social and humanitarian implications, His Majesty King Mohammed VI has issued a royal pardon for 4,831 small-scale farmers of kif (cannabis) in northern Morocco, on the occasion of the annual commemoration of the Revolution of the King and the People.
This royal pardon comes as a surprise, raising expectations and addressing difficult social situations faced by large segments of small farmers in various regions of the kingdom’s north. The decision aims to allow beneficiaries to reintegrate into their social environment and engage in legitimate income-generating activities.
This new pardon is considered an important step towards addressing the challenging economic and social conditions in Morocco’s northern regions, where cannabis cultivation had been a primary source of income for many impoverished families.
The royal decision is expected to alleviate pressure on the judicial system and bolster the state’s efforts to rehabilitate and positively reintegrate this category of citizens into society effectively.
This royal pardon has been widely welcomed in social and human rights circles, viewed as a positive step towards addressing the root causes of social and economic problems in affected areas, rather than relying solely on a security-based approach.
The move is seen as part of a broader strategy to tackle complex socio-economic issues in the region, offering a chance for reform and development while addressing the needs of vulnerable communities.
