Truth and Equity Forum deplores Mansouri's reception of"Commissaire" Mahmoud Arshan

The Moroccan Forum for Truth and Equity denounced the reception of Fatima Zahra Mansouri, the head of the appointed government, retired “comissaire” Mahmoud Arshan, in the framework of consultations with party secretaries in order to form the new government. In a statement, the Forum explained that Arshan is responsible for some of the serious human rights violations that Morocco has witnessed, considering him a partner in arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances. and the torture of thousands of victims of different generations.

The Forum considered that this reception represents a provocation and a scratch on the memory of the victims of the past of grave violations, harming the feelings of the victims and their rights-holders, and harming the path of reconciliation launched by the country within the framework of the transitional justice approach prepared by the Equity and Reconciliation Commission. He also expressed his fear that this reception would be an address to perpetuate impunity.

The Forum affirmed its firm position calling for a comprehensive, just and equitable settlement of the past file of gross violations of human rights, by activating the recommendations of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission. He considered that this settlement does not mean normalization with the violations committed by the state apparatus and its executioners. This requires holding these agencies and those responsible for violations accountable and arranging the necessary procedures that are consistent with the principles of transitional justice and respect the spirit of international human rights instruments.
