Identical sources from the Rabat Security Prefecture have categorically denied “the fallacies that were circulated on social media yesterday, Wednesday, attributing to a security officer from the uniformed police the seizure of personal belongings during a security intervention to disperse an unauthorized gathering on the public street in the same city.”

Hespress sources explained that “a careful review of the video footage of this intervention clearly showed that the security officer picked up his personal wristwatch that fell during his participation in the implementation of the regular actions related to this intervention, a footage that was distorted from its real context and published with false comments.”

“The national security services reserve the right of the police officer concerned by these allegations to resort to the judiciary, and to follow all legal and judicial procedures against any person or party that deliberately promotes these fallacies that harm his person and the image of the national security institution,” the sources added.

Hespress sources recalled that “public forces intervened yesterday, Wednesday, to disperse an unauthorized gathering, during which the crowd refused to comply and obstructed the free flow of traffic on the public street, which caused injuries to a number of police officers and required the use of alternative means of intervention to disperse them, which enabled the restoration of public order and the protection of the physical safety of the crowd and police officers.”
