Amnesty International Plays Key Role in Morocco

Although it may not be well known to many living in the North African nation, Amnesty International keeps a close eye on the events of the Kingdom of Morocco. With its main branch office in Rabat, the Moroccan Justice Ministry is working with the nonprofit organization to train penitentiary workers and staff about human rights.
According to the Maghreb Arabe Presse, the conference is set to take place in Ifrane, Morocco, where the country’s largest ski resort is located with a backdrop of cedar forests. The goal of the workshop is to start the process of setting up central and regional groups to monitor what takes place in Morocco’s prisons. The ultimate goal is to work towards helping inmates be re-introduced as productive members of society.

Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bouzoubaa stated in a speech read by the justice department that Morocco’s prison systems are working towards educating their staff about respecting human dignity, so that those incarcerated will feel like there is a positive end goal to their situation.

Amnesty International Country Director in Morocco, Mohammed Sektaoui stated that Morocco is showing great improvements and continued will towards making Morocco a country where human rights are respected on all levels. He says that it is an “irreversible choice”.

Amnesty and Moroccan representatives are working during this three-day workshop to coincide with the National Action Plan for the Promoting of the Human Rights Culture in Morocco.
