The Casablanca police prefecture reacted quickly to a video published on social networks this Sunday, January 19, in which a famous seafood seller at the city's central market was assaulted.
Hardly had it been broadcast when the video ignited social networks and pushed several women's rights associations to react. The city's authorities also responded to the call. Investigations revealed that this is a case currently being handled by the "Darb Omar" police station in Casablanca, based on mutual complaints for assault and battery between a 17-year-old minor and the woman who testifies in the video. Each accuses the other of having inflicted physical violence on them using a bladed weapon and blunt objects.
The competent police station in the Anfa security zone in Casablanca is currently conducting all necessary investigations and exploring all leads under the supervision of the public prosecutor, in order to examine the circumstances and details of this case and to identify all criminal acts committed by both parties.
Published on Saturday, January 18, the video reveals that she was subjected to serious physical violence, confirming that she has become the daily target of this type of aggression, whether from vendors or even strangers.
With a face covered in blood, Aicha Nour implores her daily life which quickly turned into a hell due to the intimidation and harassment suffered by colleagues, according to her words.
