The General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration has firmly dismissed claims circulating on Facebook about an alleged poisoning attempt involving an inmate, identified as S.H., at the local prison in Berkane. The authorities emphasized that such allegations are entirely unfounded.
Clarifying the Incident
In an official statement, the delegation explained that on July 3, 2026, the inmate handed a handful of tea and a piece of sugar to another inmate responsible for preparing the drink in a heating room. The preparation was carried out as usual, and S.H. consumed the tea without expressing any concerns about its contents.
Lack of Medical Issues
The statement further revealed that the inmate showed no symptoms warranting medical attention. He did not request to see the prison doctor nor did he file any complaints regarding the alleged incident.
Background on the Allegations
The delegation pointed out that the individual behind the fabrications is a former inmate known for disseminating what they termed “lies and distortions” aimed at discrediting the prison system, reportedly out of revenge. The authorities noted that multiple complaints have previously been lodged against him with relevant judicial bodies.
Legal Action Planned
Concluding their statement, the General Delegation announced plans to file a complaint with the public prosecutor’s office against the individual in question, given the serious nature of the accusations directed at its officials.
This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by prison administrations in dealing with misinformation and underscores the importance of maintaining transparency in the correctional system.
