A total of 9,374 detainees benefited from remote trials after their consent, which took place in full compliance with the necessary guarantees and health measures adopted to fight the risk of the spread of Covid-19, the Council said in a press release.

The CSPJ highlighted the exceptional results obtained during this period, adding that the remote trials project, which it launched in collaboration with partners in the judicial system, is a display of the values of openness and communication on the various measures taken by the CSPJ to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the Kingdom.

The Council also reaffirmed its continued commitment to the remote trial project to ensure that the courts continue to fulfill their constitutional duties and to enshrine the right to a fair trial within a reasonable time frame.
