Morocco's General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) has issued a formal denial of a report published by the British newspaper The Guardian. The original article, published on March 24, 2026, alleged that a British national was arrested in Morocco.
In a statement released on March 25, 2026, the DGSN categorically refuted the claims, stating the allegations were "devoid of any foundation." The security service emphasized its commitment to the rule of law and the protection of all individuals on Moroccan territory.
The DGSN's rebuttal highlights a point of contention between the Moroccan authorities and international media. No further details about the identity of the individual or the specific circumstances alleged by The Guardian were confirmed by the Moroccan statement.
This incident follows a pattern of similar denials issued by Moroccan authorities in response to foreign media reports they deem inaccurate. The DGSN has urged media outlets to verify information with official sources before publication.
