A total of 362 hearings were held remotely in the various courts of the Kingdom, from August 31 to September 4, during which 5,925 cases were scheduled, said on Monday the Higher Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ).
According to a press release from the Council, a total of 6,900 detainees benefited from remote trials during the same period, after their consent, in order to spare them all health risks in this exceptional situation marked by the spread of the coronavirus.
The various courts of the Kingdom have achieved “very positive and promising” results during the first week of September and this, within the framework of the optimal implementation of remote trials as being a necessary strategic choice, while ensuring to establish a balance between the right of detainees to a fair trial and the duty of courts to fulfill their constitutional and human rights obligations, while ensuring health measures for all, according to the same source.
Faced with the evolution of the epidemiological situation and the increase in the number of cases, the Higher Council of the Judiciary is working, with the rest of the partners, to intensify efforts and mobilize all means and capacities in the strict compliance with all the necessary preventive and precautionary measures in the various judicial establishments.
