In a report on the Hirak protests and trial, the National Committee for Human Rights urged the state to investigate torture and inhuman treatment allegations. However, it indicated that the trial respected human rights and highlighted violence against the police during the protests in Al Hoceima.
After Yabiladi revealed that more than 81,375 recovery cases were handled by a Casablanca court in almost record periods and unbeknownst to debtors, the second part of the investigation unveils the names of the lawyers, judges and creditors involved in most of these cases. Most of the data featured in the paper is available on courts portal mahakim.ma.
At the Casablanca First Instance Court, thousands of recovery cases are tried at the first hearing, unbeknownst to consumers and their defense. In fact, court summons are sent to mistaken addresses. The practices that have been around since 2017 involve the same judges, lawyers, bailiffs, clerics and creditors. The Moroccan Federation of Consumer Rights has also been contacted.
