Washington – HM King Mohammed VI has pursued “constructive” change in a climate of “total transparency”, said Kathryn Porter Cameron, chairman of the Leadership Council for human rights, one of the main US human rights organizations.
“The Moroccan government opened the door to include the opposition in the political process,” she said, recalling that elections will be held in November in the Kingdom.
“The Leadership Council for Human Rights commends the progressive, productive manner and peaceful spirit Morocco has exerted to protect its citizens in the midst of the Arab Spring. In other parts of the Arab world, clashes between demonstrators and police and military resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of people,” said Porter Cameron in a statement, a copy of which was received by MAP-Washington on Saturday.
“No coercion or violence was used to prevent the media from reporting on developments and demonstrations, indeed, the government even encouraged journalists to document all sporadic demonstrations,² she went on.
The US NGO said that ³contrary to the other countries of the region, Morocco considers the claims of Moroccan youth as right and legitimate.²
