Moroccan families demand justice as teacher sentenced for sexual assault remains free
Five families from the town of Bni Tadjite, in Morocco's Figuig Province, have addressed an open letter to the Public Prosecutor and the Attorney General at the Oujda Court of Appeal, urging them to enforce a final court ruling against a teacher convicted of sexually assaulting five underage female students. In 2021, the accused—a French language teacher—was sentenced to three years in prison. The verdict was upheld by both the Oujda Court of Appeal and the Court of Cassation in Rabat, rendering it final and binding as of June 2024. Despite this, the families note in their petition, of which Yabiladi has obtained a copy, that the convicted teacher remains free. They describe this situation as «incomprehensible for the victims and their families», especially in light of the «psychological and social suffering» the children have endured. The signatories, parents of the victims, stress that they have made repeated journeys from Bni Tadjite to Oujda in defense of their daughters' dignity. They warn that the continued failure to enforce the sentence undermines both the authority of the justice system and the victims' right to accountability. Families call for immediate action In their appeal, the families call on the Public Prosecutor and Attorney General to urgently intervene and order the enforcement of the sentence against the convicted teacher, described as a married man and a father. They write that this step is essential «to uphold the dignity of the victims and restore their families' honor». The case first surfaced in October 2019, when parents and guardians of a group of schoolgirls—then aged eight and nine—filed a complaint accusing the teacher of sexual assault and harassment. Initially, seven families filed complaints; two later withdrew, while five continued legal proceedings. According to the 2021 investigative judge's report, the teacher—then employed at Dakhla School in Tadjite, under the administrative jurisdiction of Bouarfa—allegedly summoned students to the board, positioned them between his thighs, and touched their buttocks and genitals. The court ultimately referred the case to the criminal court for a ruling. Ongoing Trauma and a Father's Devotion In a statement to Yabiladi, Houcine Boukhdou, father of one of the victims, called the assault «cowardly» and said, «From the moment the perpetrator dared to harm our daughters, we chose to act with reason and place our trust in state institutions, believing justice would prevail». His daughter, now 13, still suffers from severe psychological trauma. «We faced many difficulties in finding psychiatric care for her, especially since we live in a small town», he said. «We tried taking her to a specialist in Oujda, but we couldn't get the help she needed». Boukhdou, who worked in mineral and fossil collection, gave up his job to stay close to his daughter. «I couldn't bear to be away when she had a therapy session. I chose to stay until the Court of Cassation's ruling is enforced». Despite the ordeal, Boukhdou emphasized that the family never acted impulsively or outside the law. «Even though we had every reason to lose control, we believed in the institutions of the state and the justice system».

Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity to Launch New Cataract Surgery Campaign in Ifrane
The Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity will launch a new local medical campaign dedicated to cataract surgery, on May 30 at the Provincial Hospital Center (CHP) of Ifrane, and will benefit underprivileged populations from the Ifrane province. Continuing its efforts to bring quality healthcare closer to rural communities, the Foundation will provide full support for 150 cataract surgeries, the Foundation said in a press release. The beneficiaries of this initiative come from twelve communes in the municipalities of Ifrane and Azrou, including Timahdit, Dayet Aoua, Tleguit, Bekrit, Sidi El Makhfi, and Ain Louh, the same source noted, adding that they were identified among patients screened by the Foundation's connected medical mobile unit (UMMC – Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity), based in Sidi El Makhfi, and at the Ifrane Provincial Hospital. Additional outreach and pre-screening operations were carried out by Foundation teams on May 7 and 8 across four sites: central Ifrane, Sidi El Makhfi, Timahdit, and Azrou. A total of 911 consultations were conducted by general practitioners, ophthalmologists, and laboratory technicians mobilized by the Foundation. This phase helped diagnose new cases requiring surgery, while also assessing the general health status of all patients through comprehensive pre-operative evaluations (including ophthalmological consultations and biological assessments). The surgical procedures scheduled for May 30 and 31 will be carried out at the CHP of Ifrane, where two operating rooms equipped with four surgical stations have been specially prepared for the campaign. This initiative is made possible through the close collaboration of institutional and community partners in the Fez-Meknès region. A multidisciplinary medical team of over 50 professionals—including volunteer ophthalmic surgeons and operating room staff from the CHP of Ifrane—will ensure the successful execution of the surgeries. The team will be supported by the Foundation's staff, including medical supervisors, social workers, and paramedical personnel, to provide comprehensive support and follow-up care for all beneficiaries. This campaign is being implemented with the support and participation of local authorities, regional and provincial health and social protection departments, the CHP of Ifrane, the Hassan II University Hospital Center in Fez, and the "Friends of the Visually Impaired in Fès" Association (Association « Amis des Malvoyants de Fès »). Between January and April 2025, the Foundation also organized four multidisciplinary and specialized medical campaigns in the provinces of Zagora, Tan-Tan, Berkane, and Taounate. These operations benefited 11,272 individuals—7,410 of whom were women—and included 334 surgical procedures (cataract, general and pediatric surgery, circumcisions) as well as 23,461 medical consultations and specialized treatments. This new campaign is part of the Foundation's continued efforts to bring healthcare closer to rural populations and to contribute sustainably to the improvement of their living conditions. MAP: 29 mai 2025
