HIBAPRESS – Rabat
The Mol El Borj Central Prison administration in Safi issued a clarifying statement in response to a video recording that was circulated on the social media site "Facebook," which was published by the mother of the prisoner (D.H). The recording included claims about her son suffering from psychological disorders and, according to her, being subjected to pressure from some staff and provocations from prisoners within the prison institution.
The institution's administration clarified in its statement that the concerned prisoner is subject to regular medical follow-up within the prison clinic, under the supervision of a specialist doctor in neurological and psychological diseases, confirming that his health condition is taken care of in accordance with the medical controls and standards in force within the prison institutions.
Regarding what was raised about the prisoner being subjected to pressure or ill-treatment by staff, the prison administration categorically denied these claims, considering them untrue. In contrast, it indicated that the prisoner is known for his bad behavior and aggression, and he has a history of self-harm, and he does not adhere to the organizational rules in force within the institution, especially those related to closing the door of the communal room in which he resides.
Regarding the prisoner's mother, the statement clarified that her presence is limited to depositing money in the commissary, to enable her son to purchase his basic needs, without visiting him, to avoid any insults that may be issued by him against her. The institution's administration also stated that the prisoner's mother had previously stated that her son suffers from schizophrenia, expressing her desire to subject him to psychological treatment before his release.
The Mol El Borj Central Prison administration confirmed, at the end of its statement, its keenness to respect the dignity of the inmates and ensure their right to health care and humane treatment, with the application of laws and internal regulations in force within the institution.
