Moroccan singer Saad Lamjarred is at the center of a heated debate as the 19th edition of the Mawazine festival approaches. A petition titled “No to Saad Lamjarred Concerts in Morocco” is gaining traction, aiming to ban the artist from performing on Moroccan stages.

Rania Akrache, the petition’s creator, argues that Lamjarred has not yet served his sentence and is still awaiting his appeal trial, making his appearance at the festival inappropriate. Lamjarred has been embroiled in legal controversies, facing accusations of assault.

Meanwhile, many “M3allem” singer’s fans have taken to Mawazine’s social media platforms, demanding his inclusion in the festival lineup. The situation has sparked intense online discussions, with many voicing their support for the petition while others express their eagerness to see Lamjarred perform.

The Mawazine organizers are yet to comment on the controversy, leaving the public to speculate whether Lamjarred will ultimately be part of the festival’s program.
