A whistleblower from Morocco’s former security services has revealed how the country’s surveillance system operates, detailing how journalists and activists were secretly recorded in various settings including detention centers, offices, homes, cars, and airports. The ex-agent also alleged that intelligence services worked with mobile phone shop owners to sell phones pre-infected with spyware, further targeting individuals critical of the government.

Moroccans are now grappling with the implications of these revelations, focusing on how to protect privacy and free speech moving forward. The response has emphasized resilience and a push for stronger legal protections and technological safeguards.
