A total of 392 hearings were held remotely in the various courts of the Kingdom, from February 15 to 19, during which 8,331 cases were scheduled, the Higher Council for the Judiciary (CSPJ) said on Wednesday.
The council said in a statement that 9,560 detainees benefited from the remote trial system during the same period, without having to go to the courts. The project, with very significant results, fosters the values of openness and communication on the measures adopted by the CSPJ in order to curb the spread of the coronavirus in Morocco, it added.
The CSPJ reiterated its continued commitment to carry out this project in order to enable the courts to fulfill their constitutional duties and to enshrine the right to a fair trial within a reasonable deadline, particularly in this exceptional context marked by the spread of Covid-19.
The institution highlighted the sense of responsibility and commitment of all the components of the judicial system, while calling on all stakeholders to strictly respect the recommended preventive and precautionary measures, in order to avoid the risks linked to the pandemic.
