King Mohammed VI of Morocco has granted a royal pardon to Senegalese football supporters who were detained following incidents during a match in Morocco. Senegal's National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) welcomed the decision, describing it as a gesture of humanism and a positive step for bilateral relations.
The exact number of those pardoned and the specific charges were not immediately confirmed by official sources, but reports indicate the supporters were arrested after clashes at a stadium. The CNDH expressed satisfaction that the situation was resolved through dialogue and royal intervention.
This act of clemency comes amid efforts to strengthen ties between Morocco and Senegal, two countries with historically close diplomatic and cultural relations. The CNDH statement highlighted the importance of respecting human rights in such contexts.
