Moroccan judicial reforms and royal pardons

Overview

Moroccan Justice Minister Abdellatif Ouahbi announced the cancellation of 22,315 search warrants related to physical coercion measures. This decision followed a review of legal statuses under new criminal procedure law provisions, specifically targeting individuals under 20 or over 60 years old. The initiative also halted physical coercion for 3,991 detainees and established an electronic platform to settle outstanding amounts and prevent procedural issues for travelers.

Following these administrative changes, King Mohammed VI issued a royal pardon for 907 individuals to mark the first anniversary of Unity Day. The pardon, announced by the Ministry of Justice, affected 613 detainees in prison and 294 individuals out on release. Among those in custody, the pardon included sentence reductions, full pardons, and the conversion of one life sentence to a fixed-term sentence.
