Ahmed Elalamy, Head of the Public Prosecution and Criminal Policy Implementation Division at the Public Prosecutor's Office, affirmed that acts of sabotage, arson, and violence are criminal acts unrelated to freedom of expression and are punishable by the penal code with heavy prison sentences.
Ahmed Elalamy said in a statement to the Moroccan News Agency that "the acts of sabotage, arson, and violence that affected public and private property and caused physical harm to individuals following the unauthorized demonstrations have nothing to do with freedom of expression in any way and are criminal acts punishable by the penal code with heavy prison sentences ranging from 10 to 20 years in prison and may sometimes reach 30 years, and sometimes life imprisonment if coupled with aggravating circumstances." The official stressed that the mentioned events primarily affect the safety and security of citizens and their property, and that the law should be applied strictly in this context to protect their security and tranquility.
