About 1400 persons submitted compensation applications for forced disappearance or arbitrary detention
The Moroccan advisory human rights council (CCDH) said an independent arbitration commission, in charge of studying applications for compensations following cases of forced disappearance or arbitrary detention has received up to December 1 a total of 1,370 applications by victims or their relatives.
The CCDH said the commission has completed the study of some applications. It will draw the list of all applicants on December 31 when the deadline for submitting applications would have expired.
The commission was set up last August by King Mohammed VI. Chaired by a judge from the supreme court, the commission comprises three judges, four members of the Human Rights Advisory Council (CCDH), a delegate of the Interior Ministry and a delegate of the Justice Ministry.
It will carry on the study of applications and will conduct investigations to determine the harm incurred against the concerned persons and guarantee a fair compensation to victims or their inheritors, the CCDH statement went on.
However, in urgent humanitarian cases, the commission said it will allocate provisional compensations.
