Former Moroccan Minister of Justice, Mustapha Ramid, publicly criticized the country’s criminal procedure code on Friday, stating recent reforms have been insufficient. He likened the current state of the code to a high-speed train running on inadequate tracks, specifically referencing issues encountered near the city of Kenitra. Ramid made these remarks during a national conference focused on the code and fair trial standards. Meanwhile, another participant, Al Jabari, voiced opposition to leniency in sentencing. The criticisms highlight ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness and fairness of Morocco’s legal processes. The discussion underscores a need for further improvements to ensure a more just and efficient judicial system. Hespress, a Moroccan online newspaper, reported on the event.
