called for "coordinating the families of Moroccan prisoners and disappeared in Iraq," Moroccan authorities to return Moroccan detainees in Iraq in coordination with the Iraqi authorities, as happened with the eight detainees who were returned from Syria recently. 

"There are currently five Moroccans in Iraqi prisons," the French-based magazine Post Atlas reported. "These are Adnan Samman, Ahmed Boukadi, Mohamed Aloushan, Abdel Salam Bakali and Abdel Latif Tabili."




"Only one detainee was handed over to Morocco in 2016, Izzedine Boujnan, who was part of a group of 10 Moroccans detained in Iraq for links to al-Qaeda. He was sentenced for illegal violation of Iraq's borders in 2004," the magazine said, The number of Moroccans detained in Iraq, 16 of whom 9 were already sentenced to severe punishment. " 

"The case of Moroccan Abdel Salam al-Bakali remains a mystery. He was arrested in 2003 in Iraq and sentenced to death by a court in Baghdad. He was sentenced to death in Rusafa prison since 24 May 2017." For the Bakali family, the latter has spent the entire sentence since 2010 and must be released, but the Iraqi authorities re-tried him on terrorism charges for the second time and sentenced him to death.

In 2011, after the execution of 29-year-old Moroccan Badr Achouri, who was sentenced to death in 2008, the families of the detainees were mobilized and "coordinating the families of Moroccan prisoners and missing persons in Iraq" was established. Coordination revealed the presence of six other prisoners awaiting their verdict.
