On June 20, 2025, the Reconciliation Center concluded its “Scientific Lectures” program at the local prison in Salé, following six months of initiatives across various correctional facilities in the country. This effort is part of broader measures aimed at combating extremist ideologies and promoting values of tolerance and moderation.
This program falls within the rehabilitative initiatives for inmates held under anti-terrorism laws and is a critical component of the center’s strategy to dismantle extremist narratives, enhance religious awareness based on moderation, and encourage positive reintegration into society post-sentence.
A total of 345 inmates participated in 12 training sessions led by a selection of experts and scholars from the Mohammedian League of Scholars. The lectures addressed a range of topics including concepts of doctrine and jurisprudence, mechanisms for interpreting religious texts, limits of legal interpretation, and the analysis and deconstruction of violent extremist discourse.
Participants demonstrated a positive engagement with the program content, with many expressing a desire to extend the duration of the sessions and requesting additional lectures, reflecting an active commitment to correcting religious understandings and overcoming extremist thought.
The concluding ceremony was attended by the Secretary-General of the Mohammedian League of Scholars, the head of the Reconciliation Center, as well as the Director General of Prisons and Reintegration, alongside various institutional partners and supervising professors.
The Reconciliation Center plans to continue its rehabilitative programs within correctional institutions, reaffirming its commitment to enhancing intellectual security and supporting smooth reintegration opportunities for inmates back into society through promoting a religious discourse based on moderation and dialogue.
