The misdemeanor court in El Jadida has postponed the case of YouTuber Elias El Malki until November 19.
El Malki was absent from the session today, due to health reasons that emerged after he fainted during a previous session.
During the hearing, El Malki’s defense team requested his temporary release, but the court decided to delay ruling on this request until the end of the session.
El Malki’s lawyers accused certain associations of acting as middlemen and attempting to extort his family.
They argued that El Malki’s had spent two months in provisional detention despite having all the necessary guarantees and waivers from the complainants.
Abdelfattah Zahrach El Maliki’s lawyer from the Rabat Bar, argued that the case was being exaggerated in terms of the Amazigh issue.
He emphasized that no one had the authority to exploit it for their own gain, adding that El Malki was “not the prime minister or the minister of culture” to be held accountable for these matters.
Regarding the allegations of extortion, Zahrach pointed out that some individuals and associations had waived their claims against El Malki’s family without asking for compensation, while others were attempting to extort him.
He also stressed that keeping his client in provisional detention “damages justice and harms the country.”
Zahrach also criticized one of the associations for involving itself in the case, despite the waivers in favor of El Malki, and argued that the complainants should have turned to the public prosecution after all the plaintiffs had waived their claims.
