Zagora: Investigation into rape, attempted murder of under-age girl pulled from well
Thursday 17 October 2024 - 19:28

A little girl has been pulled out alive from an abandoned well in which she was found injured and trapped in M’hamid El Ghizlane.

On social networks, a video filmed by foreign tourists and their Moroccan guide went viral, showing exchanges with the child.

Rescued by the Protection Civile, the victim was transferred to the Zagora provincial hospital, then to the Ouarzazate hospital, to receive the necessary treatment.

According to media sources, the minor is from the rural commune of Tagounit. She accuses her brother-in-law of having driven her in his car, before throwing her into the well.

Her relatives accuse him of trying to conceal the scandal of the pregnancy resulting from a rape to which the girl was subjected.

Following the revelations, a gendarmerie investigation was opened, under instructions from the public prosecutor’s office.
