Algerian-French Lycee Mouri Detained in Morocco

Lycee Mouri, a 37-year-old Algerian-French national, was arrested in Morocco in early 2026 and has since spoken out about his detention. According to verified reports, Mouri was detained in Casablanca on charges related to alleged espionage, which he denies. He described harsh conditions during his confinement.

Mouri's case has drawn attention from human rights groups, who have called for his release. The French consulate in Morocco has provided consular assistance, but the legal process continues. No trial date has been set as of June 7, 2026.

This incident adds to ongoing tensions between Algeria and Morocco, though diplomatic channels remain open. Mouri's family has appealed for international support to secure his freedom.
