Moroccan royal amnesty includes accused of terrorism and extremism

Moroccan King Mohamed VI has pardoned hundreds of detainees and convicted on several counts, as well as 22 people sentenced on charges of "extremism and terrorism" since 2003, whose attempts to benefit from previous pardons have failed.

The King of Morocco issued orders on the occasion of the "Revolution of the King and the People", which benefited 329 prisoners, ranging from a reduction of sentences from life imprisonment to a specific prison and full amnesty.

The statement added that the beneficiaries of the royal amnesty in the case of his release of 99 people, where 29 of them were exempted from the penalty of imprisonment, while the king was relieved of 64 of the fine, and two benefited from amnesty punishment while keeping the fine, and exempt four of the sentences of imprisonment and a fine.

The royal amnesty included 22 prisoners sentenced to extremism and terrorism, who participated in the second round of the "reconciliation" program aimed at reintegrating them into society. Seventeen of them will be released while the rest will be reduced.

In a related context, the Joint Committee for the Defense of Islamic detainees issued a statement in which the names of the twenty-two beneficiaries of the amnesty were listed, and that "among them are detained in light of the events of 16 May 2003 terrorist in Casablanca."
