Detainee M.Q, jailed in the Ras El Ma local prison in Fez following his conviction under the anti-terrorism law, committed suicide on Wednesday in his cell, the administration of this penal institution announced.
According to a statement by the administration of the Ras El Ma local prison, the detainee committed suicide by hanging using a piece of cloth that he had torn from his clothes and attached to the window of his cell.
The competent prosecutor and the family of the deceased prisoner were informed immediately after the discovery of the incident, in accordance with the provisions of the law on the organization of prisons, the statement concluded.
This suicide was announced less than a day after the Oujda local prison’s administration announced that a death row inmate involved in the 2018 terrorist attack involving killing two tourists in the Chamharouch mountain site, committed suicide in prison.
The inmate also used “a piece of cloth that he ripped from his clothes and tied it to the window of the room in which he was staying.”
The case dates back to 2018, when two tourists, Maren Ueland, aged 28 years, of Norway, and Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, aged 24 years, of Denmark, who were camping, were discovered beheaded on December 17 in the high Atlas mounatin.
