Neighbourhood in Casablanca
Hassan of Morocco used this site for clandestine purposes

Derb Moulay Cherif (Arabic: درب مولاي الشريف) is a neighborhood in Hay Mohammadi, Casablanca.

Derb Moulay Cherif prison

The neighborhood was the site of a clandestine torture and detention center during the Years of Lead of King Hassan II, though its history dates back to the period of French Protectorate, when it was used for the torture of Moroccan Nationalist Movement. Victims of torture at the prison include Saida Menebhi, Abraham Serfaty, Fatna El Bouih, Salah El-Ouadie, Abdellatif Zeroual, and others.
