"There is a family in pain".. Saad Lamjarred's wife asks: Where is the justice? And warns those celebrating his pain

- Ghita Alalaki, the wife of Moroccan artist Saad Lamjarred, questioned: "Where is the justice?" after a court ruling in France sentenced him to 10 years in prison for rape. She spoke about his alleged coercion to pay for his freedom, confirmed his commitment to remain under judicial supervision for a decade, and warned those celebrating his pain, providing an emotional testimony about the man she loves.

Alalaki sent a lengthy message via her official Instagram account on Sunday, writing: "My husband has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. We spoke when we were asked to speak, and my husband respected every condition imposed on him.

For nearly 10 years, he remained under judicial supervision, and he was allowed to travel, returning each time. She revealed an alleged coercion he faced in exchange for his freedom, saying: "We were asked: What is the price of my husband's freedom?

We believed that such matters should be taken seriously and thoroughly examined and investigated, especially in the absence of any forensic evidence to support the accusation. We were told that if we did not pay, he would return to prison.

She added: "From my perspective, I feel as if all our warnings, evidence, and voices may be ignored. Where is the justice when a family says they have provided authorities with materials showing alleged attempts to place a price on a man's freedom?

Where is the justice when it is claimed that money is being discussed in exchange for changing statements? Where is the justice when a man spends nearly a decade under judicial supervision, appearing whenever needed, and only leaving after obtaining permission, always returning because he believed in the system?" Al-Alaki directed a message to those celebrating her husband's pain, saying: "To those who rush to judge and insult or celebrate: beware of the pain you celebrate when it is someone else's pain.

You may know a headline, but you do not know our tears. Making jokes or finding amusement in the pain of others reveals more about you than it does about the people you mock.

Remember that there are human beings behind the headlines. There are people who wake up to find an empty space beside them and go to sleep carrying a pain you cannot see.

You are not obligated to believe what I believe, but there is a difference between questioning someone and enjoying their suffering. The sorrow of another family should never become your amusement."

Saad Lamjarred's wife gave an emotional testimony about the man she loves, wanting to present a closer image of him away from the cameras and fame, saying: "I am a wife who has lived beside this man for years. I know him more than just the headlines, and more than the image the public sees.

I know the man who returns home when the doors close and the cameras disappear. I know the man he is when no one is watching him.

I know his loyalty, his tenderness, his humility, his warmth, and his compassion." She concluded by saying: "I know the way he loves his family with all his heart, the way he protects the people he loves, the way he checks on everyone, remembers the smallest details, and offers comfort when someone is in pain, and finds a way to make people smile even when he himself is carrying something heavy.

I know how much he values family, friendship, loyalty, and respect. I know how loving he is, how giving he is, how kind he is, how considerate he is, how protective he is, how forgiving he is, how present he is, and how deep of a person he is.
