Six others were pardoned from prison sentences but are still required to pay fines. Meanwhile, 115 people were pardoned from paying fines altogether.

Another 12 individuals received a pardon from both prison sentences and fines, and two were pardoned from both the fine and the remainder of their prison term.

In addition, the King extended his royal pardon to 15 individuals convicted in cases related to extremism and terrorism. The ministry said in a statement that these individuals had shown true repentance, rejected extremist ideas, and expressed loyalty to Morocco’s national values and institutions.

Of those, five individuals were pardoned from both their prison sentences and fines, while 10 inmates had their prison sentences reduced.

The royal pardon shows the King’s compassion and his commitment to giving people a second chance, especially on a religious and joyful occasion like Eid Al Adha, concluded the statement.

Morocco celebrated the religious holiday on Saturday, June 7.
