Kingdom of Morocco
Head of Government
General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration
Rabat, July 26, 2025
Explanatory Statement
In response to the video posted by an individual residing outside the country, in which he claims the “death of a police officer detained in Ain Sebaa local prison,” the General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration presents the following clarifications to the public:
- The prisoner mentioned in the video (A.Q.) is still alive and is currently held in Arjat 2 local prison, not Ain Sebaa local prison, on charges related to participation in insulting public officials while performing their duties, insulting a legally organized body, and participating in the dissemination and distribution of a composition consisting of false statements and facts through information systems with the intent to defame. It is noted that the concerned individual is serving an 18-month prison sentence pursuant to a first-instance court ruling, contrary to the five-year sentence claimed by the person who posted the video.
- The dissemination of such falsehoods by the aforementioned person is part of a systematic targeting of a group of national institutions and bodies, in line with a larger plan aiming to undermine Morocco’s image and harm its symbols, serving hostile agendas.
