No tolerance for insults against Moroccans... Arrest those who waved the Polisario flag in Rabat!

An unauthorized gathering involving approximately 40 people took place near the General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration in the capital, Rabat.

The situation took a dangerous turn after a separatist flag and slogans opposing the Kingdom’s territorial integrity were displayed in front of an official institution, in a move considered a blatant provocation against national sovereignty and an attempt to exploit human rights activism to advance separatist agendas.

When law enforcement intervened to disperse the gathering and restore order on the public street, they were met with defiance and violent resistance, resulting in three law enforcement officers sustaining injuries of varying severity, for which they were subsequently transported to the hospital.

Based on the judicial investigations initiated by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which opened an urgent inquiry and arrested the suspects, it was decided to prosecute four individuals currently in custody on suspicion of involvement in crimes of disobedience and unauthorized assembly, in addition to insulting public officials and committing acts of violence against them while they were performing their duties.

The Public Prosecution affirmed that all detainees were afforded all the safeguards guaranteed by the Constitution and the law, reflecting the rigor with which the state of institutions protects national security, upholds constitutional principles, and ensures the rule of law.
