Morocco's Hirak Rif Leader Nasser Zefzafi Self Harms in Prison
Rabat, Jan. 28 -- Nasser Zefzafi, a leader of the Hirak Rif protests in Al Hoceima, self-harmed while in prison "to create disorder," prison authorities said on Sunday.
At 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Zefzafi asked for medical because of pain in one of his legs, the Ain Sebaa 1 prison administration in Casablanca said in a statement.
When a nurse began to treat him, Zefzafi "threw the treatment tools and deliberately hurt himself by hitting his hand against the edge of a desk and the wall," explained the statement.
The Hirak activism leader, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June last year, asked for the prison director and a doctor, stating "the [medical] care he received was insufficient," according to the statement.
