Terrorism Convictions Result in Prison Sentences in Morocco
Morocco witnessed the imposition of stringent prison sentences this week in two distinct terrorism cases. The Rabat Criminal Court, specializing in terrorism trials, rendered verdicts ranging from 2 to 8 years of incarceration.
The most severe sentence, an 8-year term, was handed to S.O. The court upheld charges of forming a criminal organization to plan and execute terrorist attacks, along with publicly endorsing terrorism. Additionally, S.O. was fined 40,000 Moroccan dirhams (approximately $4,000 USD).
In another case, a second defendant, A.S., received a more lenient 2-year sentence for publicly endorsing terrorism and engaging in propaganda on behalf of a terrorist group.
These cases underscore Morocco's unwavering commitment to zero-tolerance policies and stringent measures against terrorist activities or expressions of support for extremist causes. In the face of ongoing activities by cells affiliated with ISIS and Al-Qaeda in parts of North Africa, regional authorities are resolutely prosecuting such networks.
