The General Directorate of National Security has reacted to statements made by a person before he died of deliberate burns in the hospital, where he claimed that he set himself on fire in response to what he described as “the failure to take the necessary legal measures regarding his complaint against a person by the Fez security services.” The General Directorate of National Security confirmed that these statements, which included accusations of inaction, prompted the opening of a thorough investigation into the matter.
In the context of informing public opinion, the Directorate emphasized that these statements, which include accusations of inaction, prompted the opening of a thorough investigation into the matter, under the supervision of the General Inspectorate of National Security and in coordination with the National Judicial Police, to verify the veracity of these allegations and to assign the necessary responsibilities according to the results of the investigation, which is still ongoing.
The Directorate also explained that a review of the register of felony and misdemeanor cases at the Fez Security Prefecture revealed that the deceased had previously registered three complaints against the complainant, the first of which was handled legally and resulted in the issuance of a custodial sentence against the concerned person.
As for the two complaints related to threats, insults and insults, the security services confirmed that all the necessary procedural procedures were completed and referred to the competent public prosecution, which remains the authority authorized to take the appropriate legal decisions in this regard.
