Panel Details Deaths, Disappearances
A truth commission set up by Morocco’s King Mohammed VI to investigate human rights abuses during his father’s 38-year rule found that nearly 600 people had disappeared and 500 had been killed during street riots or while in police custody, the state news agency reported.
The panel – the first of its kind in the Arab world – called for judicial and security reform, constitutional guarantees of human rights, presumption of innocence and fair, open trials.
