Non-governmental organisations in Morocco have called on their government to intervene and prevent the sentencing of six Moroccans to death in Somalia.
In a joint statement, the six bodies explained that they learned about the verdict issued by a military court in northern Somalia on 2 March, which sentenced six Moroccans to death by firing squad on charges of belonging to Daesh.
Adding that some of the defendants said that they came to look for work and did not know the intentions of those who recruited them.
Their lawyer confirmed that they want to return to Morocco and stated that they were misled by the extremist group.
