HIBAPRESS – Oujda
The Primary Court in Oujda witnessed today, Tuesday, October 14th, the third hearing related to the case of a group of young people being prosecuted in what is known as "Generation Z," a case involving thirty young people, including 06 detainees.
It was decided to postpone it to Tuesday, October 21st, due to the file not being ready and the joining of a new defense team, where the court reserved the requests for the temporary release of the six detained youths for deliberation. At the beginning of the session, the defense team of the detainees, including lawyers from the Young Lawyers Union Association in Oujda, submitted requests that the defense team insists on the innocence of the young people, and that the defendants (24 on bail and 6 detainees) demonstrated peacefully to demand social demands (health, education, combating corruption). The defense also submitted requests for temporary release, stressing that the young people did not commit "any criminal acts attributed to them," and that the available means of proof did not convince the defense. In the context of the developments that occurred in the session, the following was decided: Postponement: The file was postponed to next Tuesday's session (October 21st) due to the file not being ready and the joining of a number of new male and female lawyers to the defense team. Initial requests: The defense submitted many initial requests to ensure a fair trial, but the court decided to postpone the decision on them until the case issue is discussed. Enabling the defense to access the evidence: It was officially decided to enable the defense team to access the CDs available in the file and the rest of the means of proof, which is considered a step in which the judiciary responded to the defense's essential request. Reserving release for deliberation: The defense of the detainees again submitted requests for temporary release, confirming the availability of all guarantees for attendance and adherence to the sessions. Accordingly, the court decided to reserve the file for deliberation regarding the release requests, which keeps the fate of the six young people pending, awaiting the court's final decision in the coming days.
