Respect for the Integrity of the Person
A. ARBITRARY DEPRIVATION OF LIFE AND OTHER UNLAWFUL OR POLITICALLY MOTIVATED KILLINGS
Certainly! According to the 2021 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices by the United States Department of State, Morocco faces several significant human rights issues1. Here are some key points:
Torture and Degrading Treatment: There have been credible reports of torture or degrading treatment by some members of the security forces.
Political Prisoners: Allegations suggest the existence of political prisoners in Morocco.
Restrictions on Free Expression and Media: The government has imposed serious restrictions on free expression and media. This includes criminalization of libel and certain content that criticizes Islam, the monarchy, and the government’s position regarding territorial integrity.
Freedom of Assembly and Association: There is substantial interference with freedom of assembly and association. Political activists face surveillance and intimidation.
Government Corruption: Serious government corruption remains a concern.
There were reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. On September 8, Youssef Bejjaj was reportedly chased by three police officers for not wearing a helmet on a moped. Bejjaj’s mother claimed he was then beaten to death by plainclothes police officers. On November 17, the National Brigade of the Judicial Police opened an investigation. The police investigation found that the cause of death was due to the collision of Bejjaj’s motorcycle with a police motorcycle. The report stated that the autopsy revealed injuries consistent with a collision and concluded there had been “no use of excessive force” against Bejjaj. Significant human rights issues included credible reports of: torture or degrading treatment by some members of the security forces; allegations there were political prisoners; serious restrictions on free expression and media, including criminalization of libel and certain content that criticized Islam, the monarchy, and the government’s position regarding territorial integrity; substantial interference with the freedom of assembly and freedom of association, including surveillance and intimidation of political activists; serious government corruption; and criminalization of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex conduct.
