Sunday 15 June 2025 - 22:53

Moroccan authorities have launched several investigations into incidents ranging from a fire at a school dormitory to a potential suicide and alleged criminal operations, as reports across the kingdom raise public alarm and political scrutiny.

In Marrakesh, police opened an inquiry into a fire that broke out at the boarding school of Lycée Al-Ouda Al-Saadia. The blaze led to multiple cases of smoke inhalation and fainting among female students. Six girls were hospitalized, some in critical condition after jumping from elevated areas to escape the flames.

The Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH) condemned the incident as a “humanitarian disaster,” blaming the educational and administrative authorities for negligence and lack of basic safety protocols at the facility.
