Human rights activists have criticized the recent report issued by the National Council for Human Rights on Hirak protests and torture allegations. Moroccan NGOs believe that the report tried to «justify human rights violations».
In a report on the Hirak protests and trial, the National Committee for Human Rights urged the state to investigate torture and inhuman treatment allegations. However, it indicated that the trial respected human rights and highlighted violence against the police during the protests in Al Hoceima.
