Thursday 5 November 2020, by Bladi.net

Human rights defender Hassan Tahiri, alias Zitouni, was coldly murdered last Monday under strange circumstances. An investigation has been opened by the Royal Gendarmerie.

The militant activities of the deceased would be at the origin of this drama and the multiple attacks of which the deceased was a victim, reports Bayane Al Yaoum. The most recent one dates back to about a month ago. In a video circulated on social networks, Hassan Tahiri had declared that he had been attacked by masked individuals who had finally fled.

Meanwhile, the investigations are continuing in order to determine the circumstances of this heinous crime.
