Violence against Mme X aurait été arrêtée le 3 décembre 2009 et transférée à la prison de Zaki à Salé. Elle aurait
women;
été accusée d‟avoir «financé le terrorisme». Elle aurait subi d‟énormes pressions psychologiques
ainsi que des violences afin qu‟elle avoue ce qui lui est reproché. Depuis, elle n‟aurait cessé de
protester contre le caract��re inéquitable de son procès, à l‟issue duquel elle a été condamnée à
quatre ans de prison, et de ses très mauvaises conditions de détention par plusieurs grèves de la
faim. Le 16 mai 2011, la prison de Zaki a connu un mouvement de révolte des détenus. Au cours
de cette intervention, Mme X aurait été saisie par plusieurs agents des forces spéciales qui
l‟auraient jetée à terre et violemment battue sous les yeux des gardiens de la prison. Cependant,
l‟administration de la prison ne lui aurait fait subir aucun examen médical.
