The stakeholders in the meeting looked into the files of more than 90 families, consisting of 234 children in the company of their mothers, as well as the cases of 48 orphans, reports Al Ahdath Al Maghribia. According to the national coordination for the Moroccans blocked and detained in Syria and Iraq, this figure remains below the actual figure. It regrets not having all the files.

"These children are not to blame, it was their fathers who decided, at one point, to take them to the unknown," it pleads in a statement. "Some of them were born there, which further complicates their situation, given the lack of identity and papers," it notes.

During the meeting, the representatives of the coordination also had files on Moroccans detained in Iraq. An 18-year-old file. Many women detained in the Iraqi camps have been sentenced to prison while others have been executed, it is recalled.
