The source reports that the group of students were arrested in connection with an incident that resulted in the death of a Moroccan student during a demonstration held at Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech on 23 January 2016. The demonstration had in fact been organized after a Saharan student was seriously injured in a knife attack in December 2015. When the Moroccan authorities made no attempt to prosecute the perpetrators and to ensure that justice was done, the Saharan students organized the demonstration of 23 January 2016, during which the demonstrators were met by several Moroccan students who tried to disperse them. One student died in the clash between the two groups. According to the source, it was not possible to ascertain how he died or who was responsible for his death.
