Morocco Compensates Victims of ’Years of Lead’ Human Rights Abuses

According to a CNDH press release, "on August 6 and 7, the execution sessions of the new arbitration rulings, drawn up by the Follow-up and Implementation Commission of the recommendations of the Equity and Reconciliation Instance, will take place at the headquarters in Rabat, for the benefit of the victims or the families of the deceased, concerning the section related to the reparation of serious human rights violations between 1956 and 1999".

The CNDH apologized to the victims and their beneficiaries for the delays in the execution of the compensations, and committed to closing the file of atrocities and serious human rights violations, by initially processing 624 files that had been pending for some time.

The press release adds that the Follow-up and Implementation Commission of the recommendations continues its work to finalize the administrative procedures, in order to finalize the supplementary retirement files relating to the victims integrated into the civil service.
