The Public Prosecutor at the Inzegan Court has instructed the Royal Gendarmerie in Ait Melloul to launch an investigation under its supervision following the assault and attempted theft of an African man by two individuals.
According to official sources, the victim was rushed to the hospital for emergency medical treatment after sustaining severe head injuries.
In a related development, violent riots broke out later that same day around 12:00 PM, when about 150 people of African descent obstructed traffic by gathering in the streets and throwing stones at others. The rioters also targeted private property, throwing stones at homes, road users, and security personnel.
Security forces’ intervention, along with judicial investigations, led to the arrest of two individuals involved in the disturbances. Authorities continue to investigate to identify other individuals linked to the unrest and will take the necessary legal actions against them.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office has reiterated its commitment to strictly enforcing the law to ensure public order and safeguard citizens’ safety.
