Abdelkader Belliraj, a Belgian-Moroccan life that was sentenced to life in 2009 for the administration of a radical Islamist network, was pardoned by King Mohammed VI, according to information provided by his family.
His wife confirmed that he had left prison on Sunday evening after granting prisoners involved in affairs of extremism and terrorism during the Eid Eid el-Fitr 31.
These graces were granted to those who revised their ideological beliefs and rejected extremism. A total of 1,533 benefited from this grace.
Belliraj was arrested in 2008 and was found to be guilty of leading a radical group in the 1980s and 90s, which is responsible for six murders in Belgium, even though he has always contested the facts. His lifelong prison sentence was confirmed in the appeal procedure in 2010.
In addition, the collective negotiation from 2009, in which 34 co -accused were involved, was criticized by human rights defenders for violations of the rights of the accused.
