Morocco's National Human Rights Council approves DNA tests for Tazmamart victims

The Association «Victims of Tazmamart and Their Friends» announced that the National Council for Human Rights has contacted some families of the victims to conduct DNA tests on the remains of those who died unjustly in Tazmamart prison.

While acknowledging the significant delay, the association commended the National Council for Human Rights for finally responding to their request.

In a statement, the association expressed appreciation for the response but emphasized that it was two decades overdue.

The association called for a thorough and impartial investigation into the Tazmamart tragedy, seeking to uncover the full truth and ensure that victims and their families receive appropriate individual and collective reparations in accordance with international standards.

The association also announced its intention to write to the president of the National Council for Human Rights to request an urgent meeting regarding the Tazmamart victims and their families.
