Families of young Moroccans missing abroad, particularly in Libya, staged a protest on Tuesday outside the consular and social affairs office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rabat.
They called on Moroccan authorities to urgently intervene and coordinate with Libyan officials to clarify the fate of their sons, many of whom vanished after irregular migration attempts.
Several mothers appealed directly to King Mohammed VI to step in and activate diplomatic channels.
One mother, Hassnaa Jabal, said her son Oussama disappeared four months ago after being detained in Libya. Another, Amina Bou Fars, said her son Abdullah remains jailed despite others being repatriated.
Rights groups and Moroccan diplomats have acknowledged that many missing Moroccans may be held in informal detention centers run by armed militias in western Libya.
These centers, often outside state control, have been linked to migrant abuse, extortion, and ransom demands. Officials cite severe security fragmentation as a major obstacle.
