This clarification was released on Monday as a response to “untruths” contained in a statement released by the so-called Support Committee of Omar Radi, Soulaiman Raïssouni, Maati Monjib and Victims of the Violation of Freedom of Speech. These untruths concerned the detention conditions of the so-called “S.R.” in the Ain Borja local prison where he is serving a five-year sentence.
The DGAPR explained that it had already issued several clarifications on the situation of the above-mentioned prisoner in which it had denied the allegations made by his wife and relayed by some parties who claim to defend human rights, according to which the papers and books of the detainee were torn at the time of his transfer from Ain Sbaâ I to Ain Borja in the same city.
The DGAPR recalled having stressed in the said communiqués that “the conditions of detention of the above-mentioned resident are normal and that his refusal to benefit from walking time, family visits or to meet his lawyer is a personal decision that does not involve the administration of the penitentiary establishment.”
“The obstinacy of the aforementioned Committee to continue to disseminate such nonsense and unfounded accusations illustrates the determination of their authors to undermine not only the prison administration and its staff, but also the image of the Kingdom internally and externally, even if it means serving as a tool in the pay of foreign organizations and entities that have adhered to a campaign hostile to Morocco that coincides with the celebrations of the glorious Day of Throne”, it adds.
“These parties instrumentalize a set of cases of detainees prosecuted in common law cases to try to damage the reputation of Morocco in terms of human rights with suspicious agendas, but known to all,” stressed the DGAPR. “It turned out, without a shadow of a doubt, that the reports of these international organizations are prepared according to the interests of the countries whose agenda they serve, which makes them lose all credibility and objectivity.”
