To Dutch MEP Kati Piri, addressing the Hirak issue is no more a domestic affair that concerns only Morocco. The politician believes her interest in the Hirak issue is a way of listening to the concerns of her fellow Dutch citizens of Moroccan descent.
A social media post reported that Dutch MEP Kati Piri is visiting Al Hoceima this week to meet Moroccan politicians and human rights defenders. Some of them told Yabiladi that a Dutch delegation will indeed fly to the city but without Piri who also denied the news.
Moroccan-Dutch nationals have launched a campaign since January to secure the nomination of Nasser Zefzafi to the Sakharov price. The Hirak figure has made it to the final list, Tuesday, which includes only three names.
