King Mohammed VI did not pardon the Hirak Rif detainees and imprisoned journalists on the occasion of the commemoration of the presentation of the Manifesto of Independence, celebrated on Tuesday, January 11.
The leader of the Hirak, Nasser Zefzafi went on Wednesday, June 30, to the bedside of his father hospitalized in a private clinic in Tangier after being authorized by the General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration (DGAPR).
Nasser Zefzafi was admitted on Tuesday to a hospital in Tangier after losing consciousness in his cell. This is the third time he has been transferred to a health center since February.
Barring a political solution, Nasser Zefzafi will serve the 20-year prison sentence handed down by the criminal chamber on June 28, 2018 and confirmed by the Casablanca Court of Appeal in April 2019. Last Friday, the Court of Cassation in Rabat confirmed the appeal verdict, thus judicially closing the file of the detainees of the Hirak Rif.
Sentenced at the end of May 2017 to 20 years in prison for "conspiracy and undermining state security" and other reasons, Nasser Zefzafi , leader of the Rif movement (Hirak), has been hospitalized. He is suffering from hypoglycemia following a hunger strike he has been observing since last Sunday.
After unsuccessfully appealing to government and associative authorities, the father of the leader of the Hirak of the Rif hopes for a royal pardon in favor of the 24 members of the movement detained in prisons in the north of the country.
After [Nasser Zefzafi] and his co-detainee, it is the turn of four new detainees of the Hirak of the Rif to begin a hunger strike. Ahmed Zefzafi, the father of the leader of the Rif Hirak, made this announcement on his Facebook page.
Nasser Zefzafi and his co-detainee have informed the management of the local prison of Tangier 2 of their decision to observe a hunger strike. This information comes from the General Delegation for the Administration of Penitentiary Establishments and Reintegration (DGAPR) which refuses to "be held responsible for the health consequences" that would result from it.
Nasser Zefzafi and the other detainees of the Rif Hirak agree to negotiate with the Moroccan authorities in order to definitively close the case concerning them.
Sentenced in 2019 to 20 years in prison, the Rif activist, Nasser Zefzafi , left the Tanger 2 prison for the first time on Friday. The leader of the Hirak of the Rif was allowed to visit his mother, who is suffering from advanced stage cancer.
The General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration (DGAPR) grants, with a few details, one of the main demands of the Hirak prisoners of the Rif by starting to group them in the Tangier prison.
Nasser Zefzafi and Nabil Ahamjik, detained at the Ras El Ma prison, have decided to abandon their struggle. The two figures of the Hirak of the Rif have suspended this Monday, the hunger strike they had engaged in for several weeks against their detention conditions.
