Mohamed Houli Chemlal

Mohamed Houli Chemlal is a convicted jihadist serving a 43-year prison sentence for his involvement with the terrorist cell responsible for the 2017 attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils that resulted in 16 fatalities. He is notable for being a survivor of an accidental explosion in Alcanar, where explosives were being manufactured for a larger attack. Houli's recent appearance at the Spanish Congress, under heavy security and still in handcuffs, marks a rare instance of a prisoner being physically present in a parliamentary inquiry.
