The victim was 37 years old and his brutal death in a police station in the old city of Salé, near the capital Rabat, is for many bloggers, reminiscent of the Years of Lead, the dark era of the previous regime of King Hassan II, when police brutality and torture perpetrated by state agents was a horrifying reality Moroccans had to live with. 
Mhanga huyu alikuwa na umri wa miaka 37 na kifo chake baada ya kuteswa vibaya katika kituo cha polisi katika mji wa kale wa Salé ulio karibu na jiji la Rabat, ni jambo ambalo wanablogu wengi wanalichukulia kuwa mabaki ya enzi za Miaka ya Chuma, ambazo zilikuwa kipindi kibaya cha utawala wa Mfalme Hassan II, ambapo ukatili wa polisi na utesaji uliopangwa na kufanywa na vyombo vya dola ulikuwa wa viwango vya kutisha na ambao raia wa Moroko walilazimika kuuishi.
