Ahmed Marzouki has previously narrated his memoirs of his detention in the notorious Tazmamart prison in Morocco. The revelation of this prison left a black mark on Morocco's history and its human rights record. Marzouki recalls some of the dark days of this prison, but he also talks to Al Mashhad about some of the dear moments he experienced inside the prison. But what is new about the Tazmamart prison and its repercussions on Moroccan society and those who suffered from detention? How does a freed prisoner live and how does he continue his life with his family and inside the house after years of darkness? And did the Equity and Reconciliation Committee formed by the Moroccan authorities really succeed in closing or healing the wound and rift caused by the prison or the practices of the Moroccan authorities at the time? This time, Marzouki talks about what happened after leaving the prison and about the conditions of prisoners and their rights after they gained their freedom. Ahmed Marzouki is a Moroccan officer who was accused of participating in the Skhirat coup in 1971 against King Hassan II and was detained with others in Tazmamart prison for 18 years.
