The circle of pro-Palestinian activist Sion Assidon has lamented the «silence of the authorities» regarding the investigation into the circumstances of the incident that left the 77-year-old unconscious and injured at his home last August. While the prosecutor's office confirmed that an investigation is still underway, friends and family say they remain «uncertain whether it was an assault or an accident». On Wednesday, they reiterated their call to learn «the assessment and conclusions of a forensic doctor». In a written statement sent to Yabiladi, the signatories recalled that «three requests have been submitted to the public prosecutor: on August 22, September 3, and October 9, 2025». They also confirmed that the national coordinator of the BDS Morocco movement (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) «has been in a coma for two months», adding that «no prognosis can be made by the medical team, which continues its commendable efforts through analyses, scans, MRIs, chest X-rays, and EEGs». Over the past week, Sion Assidon «has been opening and blinking his eyes, showing slight reactions to stimuli», while «the lung infection is now under control and nearly overcome». However, the statement notes that «his respiratory function is still supported by a machine, as natural breathing exhausts him», and that «the brain lesions remain significant». At this stage, doctors «are refraining from making any prognosis while he remains in a coma». Friends and family, however, say they «remain hopeful, especially since Sion Assidon continues to show resilience and refuses to give in». According to an earlier statement from the King's Public Prosecutor General at the Casablanca Court of Appeal, investigators found a stepladder, a saw, a pickaxe, and pruning shears in the garden of Sion Assidon's home, along with trimmed plant remains. Inside the house, the activist was discovered unconscious on a sofa. Several personal belongings were also recovered, including shoes with grass stains, a mobile phone, keys, two laptops, and neatly arranged books, with no signs of forced entry.
