HIBAPRESS – Mohamed Daher
The Preliminary Criminal Division of the Marrakech Court of Appeal ruled on Wednesday, sentencing a young man in his twenties to three years of effective imprisonment for his involvement in the attempted rape of a university student.
According to the newspaper's sources, the details of the case date back to October 6th of this month. A university student filed a complaint with the Royal Gendarmerie, accusing the individual of attempting to kidnap her on a morning in late September, as she was heading to board a public transport bus. A young man intervened and rescued her.
The Royal Gendarmerie in Sidi Allal Tazi arrested the accused and transferred him to the Public Prosecution at the Marrakech Court of Appeal. The prosecution decided to prosecute him in detention on charges related to "rape, attempted rape, violence against a woman based on her gender, and possession of a weapon under circumstances that would threaten public security or the safety of persons or property."
