Upon discovering the Shaykh’s association with the Hizb, the Saudi government deported him along with several other  shabaab  (members) of the Hizb back to Palestine in the 1960s.

The Murder of Mohsin Fikri: A Dormant Revolution in a Repressed People

Press Release (Translated) On Friday the 28 th of October, Morocco witnessed a truly horrific crime, epitomised in the murder of a young man, Mohsin Fikri, pulverised and crushed in a garbage collection truck, whilst he was struggling for his livelihood. Just like that and without mercy! This horrific crime which indicated clearly the regime’s contempt and disdain to the people stirred the Moroccan street having witnessed dozens of marches and huge angry protests in support of the honour and dignity of Mohsin Fikri and to his right and through that, the dignity of the people of the country as a whole. The protesters stopped in front of the police stations raising the slogan “Murderers and criminals” … This popular tide indicates proof that the Islamic Ummah hoards a severe hatred towards its regimes whatever they are named. It represents a blatant evidence that Morocco boasts about a fake stability and that it resorts to misrepresentation to contain a latent revolution agai
