A total of 307 hearings were held remotely at the various courts of the Kingdom on August 10-13, during which 5,956 cases were scheduled, the Supreme Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ) said Tuesday.
A total of 6,878 detainees benefited from remote trials which took place in full compliance with the health precautionary measures issued to fight against the spread of Covid-19, the CSPJ added in a press release.
Remote trials are monitored and implemented as a strategic choice at a time of health emergency, ensuring a balance between the right of detainees to a fair trial in accordance with all required legal guarantees and the duty of the courts to continue fulfil their constitutional and human rights obligations and functions, while safeguarding the health of everyone, the source pointed out.
The Council also welcomed efforts made by the various partners, in particular the authorities, justice institutions and professionals to carry out this project, underlining in this regard the need to show resolute commitment, vigilance and mobilization at the courts, in order to fight against the Coronavirus pandemic and preserve the health and safety of everyone.
