Laayoune’s local prison administration refuted the allegations made by the mother of a minor inmate at the facility, claiming that he was “beaten by prison staff” and “showed signs of torture observed during her visit.”
In response to a video shared on social media, the prison administration clarified in a statement that the minor inmate (L.A.A) had filed a verbal complaint with the Head of Security and Discipline on January 10, alleging that he had been subjected to violence and mistreatment by an officer. However, after an investigation was conducted, these claims were found to be baseless.
Regarding the injuries and bruises on the minor inmate’s body, the administration explained that “he repeatedly inflicted harm on himself, doing so more than seven times, the latest being on January 18, 2025, when he violently banged his head against the walls of his room, as testified by his cellmates.”
The minor inmate was previously admitted to an external hospital on January 14, 2025, after self-harming, the same source added, noting that “he was examined by a psychiatrist who prescribed appropriate medication, which he refused to take.”
