Supporters of Moroccan feminist activist Ibtissame Lachgar alert on her health condition

The support committee for Moroccan feminist activist Ibtissame Lachgar warns of a new deterioration of her health in detention, stating she now requires surgery and calling for a humanitarian pardon. Meeting in Rabat, her lawyers and relatives cite a risk of serious, even vital, aggravation according to doctors who examined her file. Hakim Sikouk, president of the Rabat section of the Moroccan Association for Human Rights, says her arm prosthesis needs to be replaced, which has not been done, reflecting poor detention conditions.
