The Court of Appeal has upheld the light prison sentence handed down in the case of the murder of six-year-old Hidaya in northern Morocco.
The ruling confirms the earlier judgment and leaves the punishment unchanged, despite the seriousness of the crime and the young age of the victim.
Hidaya was killed in northern Morocco, a case that shocked many and drew widespread attention. The court’s decision means the convicted person will not receive a heavier sentence following the appeal process.
The appellate court’s confirmation of the original penalty is the key outcome revealed in the case, closing the door on any change through this stage of the proceedings.
