Morocco and Western Sahara
JANUARY 2012 COUNTRY SUMMARY Morocco and Western Sahara Responding to the pro-democracy Arab Spring movements and to pro-reform demonstrations in Morocco, King Mohammed VI proposed in June constitutional amendments with substantial human rights guarantees but few significant curbs on the monarch’s own powers. The electorate voted the amendments into law in July. The new constitution recognizes Amazigh, the Berber language, as an official language and prohibits torture, inhuman, and degrading treatment; arbitrary detention; and enforced disappearances. It also requires any person who is arrested to be informed “immediately” of the reason for his arrest, and to enjoy the presumption of innocence and the right to a fair trial. However at this writing the amendments had yet to transform Morocco’s decidedly mixed human rights performance. Freedom of Assembly, Association, and Expression Inspired by popular protests elsewhere in the region, Moroccans began marching on February 20 to demand sweeping political reforms. The marches—usually spearheaded by the youthful, loosely-organized February 20 Movement for Change and backed by other political and civil society forces, including the powerful Islamist Justice and Spirituality movement—sometimes exceeded 10,000 participants and were staged in several cities simultaneously. The police tolerated some of the protests, but on some occasions attacked and beat protesters severely. Some of the harshest police violence occurred at peaceful protests in Casablanca, Kenitra, and Rabat, the captial, during the weeks prior to the king’s much-anticipated speech in June outlining constitutional reforms. On May 29, security forces in the town of Safi beat Kamal Ammari, a 30-year old protester. -

The Muslim Brotherhood’s legislative body appointed Mohamed Morsy as president of the Freedom and Justice Party, Essam al-Erian as vice president and Saad al-Katatny as secretary general. Speaking to reporters in the backyard of the group’s new six-story headquarters on the hill of Moqattam, the appointees affirmed the independence of their political party from the mother organization - a plea constantly reiterated by observers and the group’s reformist voices. To prove the party’s autonomy, the Shura Council required the three leaders to relinquish their positions in the Guidance Bureau, the Muslim Brotherhood’s executive structure, according to a statement given out to journalists. The same document uses a vague language to envisage possible “coordination” between the party and the Muslim Brotherhood in a way that achieves “national interests.” 2 “Any party that ignores the coordination with the Muslim Brotherhood, given its historical role and geographical expansion, threatens its own chances,” Erian told reporters at a news conference after the Shura Council had adjourned its two-day meeting. -

Instead, there is talk of a new outbreak of jihadist terrorism. This paper is part of the “Jihadist Terrorism in Europe” series, in which renowned experts analyze the current state of the jihadist threat in various countries, as well as the related counter-terrorism strategies and the political debates. › In this paper, the authors, Guy Van Vlierden and Pieter Van Ostaeyen, look at Bel- gium as one of Europe’s hardest hit countries in the current wave of jihadist ter- rorism. -

Morocco Battling Militants' Rise
Morocco battling militants’ rise John Thorne • Last Updated: November 11. 2008 9:46PM UAE / November 11. 2008 5:46PM GMT Abdelkader Belliraj, accused of forming a radical Islamist cell, arrives at the courthouse. Rafael Marchante / Reuters RABAT // The trial resumes on Friday of Abdelkader Belliraj, 51, accused of having links to al Qa’eda and masterminding a plot to commit a string of political assassinations in Morocco. Mr Belliraj’s alleged gang is one of many rounded up by Moroccan police this year in anti-terrorist sweeps, which authorities said have dismantled more than 50 cells and arrested about 3,000 people since suicide bombings struck the commercial capital, Casablanca, in 2003. About 1,000 terrorist suspects are behind bars. Critics have said that Moroccan authorities exaggerate the country’s terrorist threat to win western support. But suicide bombings in recent years suggest that Morocco showcases the latest generation in al Qa’eda-inspired militancy – diffuse, decentralised, with local agendas but global relevance. Morocco’s anti-terrorism campaign kicked off after the 2003 Casablanca bombings. Authorities initially shied from citing al Qa’eda. But this year the government has accused Mr Belliraj and other suspects of ties to the group. “Al Qa’eda has decentralised and shown a remarkable capacity to adapt,” said Fernando Reinares, the director of the Programme on Global Terrorism at the Real Instituto Elcano in Madrid. After the September 11 attacks, the US-led assault on Afghanistan dislodged al Qa’eda and cost it in numbers, Mr Reinares said. The organisation has since adopted regional affiliates and relied on inspiring semi- autonomous cells to destabilise pro-Western countries like Morocco. -

Fear of Forcible Return/Fear of Torture Or Other Ill-Treatment / Fear of Unfair Trial
PUBLIC AI Index: EUR 41/007/2009 21 April 2009 UA 106/09 Fear of forcible return/Fear of torture or other ill-treatment / Fear of unfair trial SPAIN Ali Aarrass (m), Mohamed el Bay (m) Ali Aarrass and Mohamed el Bay are at imminent risk of being extradited to Morocco, where they would be at risk of incommunicado detention, torture and other ill-treatment as well as an unfair trial. The Spanish national criminal court (Audiencia Nacional) approved the extraditions in late 2008 and they must now receive final confirmation from the Council of Ministers. If the extraditions go ahead Spain will be violating its obligations under international human rights law, including the UN Convention against Torture. Ali Aarrass and Mohammed el Bay were arrested in the Spanish city of Melilla on 1 April 2008 on the basis of international arrest warrants requested by Morocco on 28 March 2008. The Spanish national criminal court authorised the extradition of Ali Aarrass to Morocco on 21 November 2008. The decision was confirmed on appeal on 23 January 2009, on the assurance from the Moroccan government that Ali Aarrass would not be sentenced to the death penalty or life imprisonment without parole. Ali Aarrass had claimed that his joint Belgian-Moroccan nationality should bar his extradition to Morocco, but the court rejected this argument. According to Amnesty International’s knowledge, Ali Aarrass has appealed to the Constitutional Court, but this appeal does not have any suspensive effect on the extradition process. The extradition request is now awaiting final approval by the Council of Ministers, which may happen at any time.
