HIBAPRESS – Muhammad Zariouh
The local prison in Selouane, in the Nador province, witnessed a state of security and medical alert shortly before Friday, following an attempt by an inmate to end her life. According to medical sources, the person in question ingested a quantity of "bleach" in mysterious circumstances, which caused her health complications that necessitated immediate intervention by the elements in charge of guarding and administration.
Following this, the young woman was quickly transferred to the Al-Hassani Regional Hospital in Nador to receive the necessary treatments and first aid, where she was urgently admitted under close medical supervision to try to neutralize the danger of the corrosive substance on her digestive system. The medical teams at Al-Hassani Hospital are closely monitoring her health condition to ensure the stability of her vital functions.
This shocking incident comes to re-raise questions about the psychological state of the inmates, especially since another suicide attempt was recorded in the same prison institution during the past week, which puts the general conditions inside the prison under the microscope of follow-up, especially with the repetition of these cases in a short period of time that did not exceed seven days.
As of now, the local prison administration in Selouane or the General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration has not issued any official statement revealing the details of the incident or the underlying motives behind this act, at a time when a state of anticipation prevails for the issuance of official clarifications that illuminate public opinion about the circumstances of the incident and the preventive measures taken.
Pending the results of the investigation, the competent authorities have begun their usual administrative procedures to determine the circumstances and details of the incident, with a focus on investigating how the toxic substance reached the inmate, while medical efforts are still focused inside Al-Hassani Hospital in Nador to provide all the necessary care to ensure that the inmate overcomes the danger stage.
