Nearly four decades after the tragic discovery of Inass, the Moroccan child known as the «A10 martyr», her parents are finally set to face trial in France for her death. Scheduled for November 2026, this long-awaited trial follows a significant breakthrough in 2018, when DNA analysis identified the victim, leading to the arrest of her parents on charges of torture and complicity.
Having joined the case as a civil party, the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH) in Marrakech-Menara is preparing to take legal action on another front. The victim, a 13-year-old mentally disabled minor who gave birth as a result of repeated assaults, has prompted the NGO to seek legal recognition of paternity for one of the three convicted individuals, based on a DNA test conducted during the investigation.
A study published in Nature uncovers a previously unknown North African genetic lineage from the African wet period, around 7,000 years ago. By analyzing ancient genomes from Taforalt (Morocco) and Takarkori (Libya), the researchers reveal unexpected connections between prehistoric populations in the Sahara and the Maghreb, offering fresh insights into human migrations and cultural exchanges across the region.
Archaeological data shed light on the transition of ancient North African populations from hunter-gatherers to producers, between 20,000 and 4,000 years ago. Following the sequencing of a genome in Morocco, findings from sites in Algeria and Tunisia raise questions about the movements between Asia, Europe, and the Maghreb during the development of the local production culture.
Ordered by the Marrakech prosecutor's office after the birth of a child to a minor with a mental disability, a DNA test established the link between the newborn and one of the three accused men, who are being prosecuted for repeated rape of the 13-year-old girl. The NGO is requesting that this incriminating scientific evidence lead to an exemplary decision.
