05/01/2006 By Driss Benzekri

On January 31, 2006, FRIDE held the 14th Conference of its Middle East and North Africa Series: “Reconciliation and Human Rights in the Development of Morocco.”

Dris Benzekri, President of the Advisory Council of Human Rights and former Director of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission (IER), presented the findings and conclusions derived from the report carried out by the first official truth commission on the disappearance of thousands of Moroccans at the hands of state officials between the 1950s and the 1990s.

The report,which includes detailed information on all the victims, was approved for public release by King Mohammed VI in December.
