The Left Alliance asks the Minister of Justice about the outcome of the case of Mahdi Ben Barka

The parliamentary group of the Left Alliance sent a written question to the Minister of Justice, Abdul Latif Wahbi, coinciding with the sixty-first anniversary of the abduction of Mahdi Ben Barka, demanding that the outcome of the case be revealed, according to what was published by the "Lakm" website.

The question bears the signature of MP Omar Mahmoud Benjelloun, and calls for the disclosure of the outcome of the judicial letters rogatory related to the case, and for all information that allows access to the truth of this political crime, in order to achieve truth and fairness.

Benjelloun noted that Ben Barka's abduction, One of the leaders of the National Movement, the former head of the Consultative Council and one of the leaders of the National Union of Popular Forces, signed on October 29, 1965, and that the file is the oldest judicial investigation file with the French judiciary since the beginning of 1966.

The parliamentarian stated that the Moroccan government in that era presented witnesses and defendants before the Criminal Chamber of the Paris Court at the end of the 1960s, and that it later acknowledged its responsibility in the New Testament, according to the reports of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission. Judicial hearings were also held for some of the defendants within the framework of French-Moroccan cooperation.

However, the judicial letters rogatory that refer the results of the hearing to the French investigating judge in charge of the case, its fate is still unknown, at a time when the French judiciary denies communicating it, according to Benjelloun. Therefore, the Coalition demands the disclosure of the fate of these letters rogatory and what they included.
