		<description><![CDATA[Moroccan authorities have failed to deliver on their promises to tackle
the legacy of gross human rights violations committed in Morocco and
Western Sahara between 1956 and 1999, Amnesty International said ahead
of a report to be published on the issue.br /
br /
The organization said Moroccan authorities have failed to provide
justice to the many victims of the ldquo;years of leadrdquo;, decades in which
hundreds of people were victims of enforced disappearances and
thousands of others were arbitrarily detained or tortured.br /
br /
An official commission established by King Mohammed VI six years ago to
investigate human rights violations committed by the Moroccan security
services between 1956 and 1999 has failed to fully deal with the legacy
of the violations.br /
br /
The Equity and Reconciliation Commission (Instance Equiteacute; et
Reacute;conciliation, IER) finished its work four years ago. The King then
tasked the Advisory Council on Human Rights (Conseil Consultatif des
Droits de l'Homme, CCDH), the national institution for the protection
and promotion of human rights, to follow-up on the IER's work and
recommendations.br /
br /
The IER was able to reveal only part of the truth about the gross
violations of the past and was given no role to pursue justice for the
victims. It recommended a number of legal and institutional reforms to
ensure that such violations cannot occur again, but the overwhelming
majority of these have not been implemented.br /
br /
The CCDH is due to publish a report Thursday 14 January detailing its efforts to carry forward the IERrsquo;s work. br /
br /
Amnesty International's report, Broken Promises: the Equity and
Reconciliation Commission and its follow-up, published last week,
expressed concern at the slow pace of implementation of the IERrsquo;s
recommendations. Amnesty International has called on King Mohamed VI to
honour the expectations raised by the IERrsquo;s work.br /
br /
quot;In order not to undermine the progress made since the inauguration of
the IER in 2004, it is crucial that the Moroccan authorities tackle the
shortcomings and gaps in the process of addressing the legacy of the
past,quot; said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International's Middle East and
North Africa Director. br /
br /
The systematic use of torture and other ill-treatment, enforced
disappearances and arbitrary detention of thousands of individuals
plagued the period under the rule of King Hassan II (1961-99).br /
br /
Hundreds disappeared at the hands of the Moroccan security services,
especially when the Moroccan authorities felt threatened by internal or
external opposition.br /
br /
Victims of enforced disappearance included activists in opposition
parties, trade unionists and even farmers who had led demonstrations. br /
br /
The phenomenon disproportionately affected Sahrawis. Most of them are
thought to have disappeared because of their real or suspected support
for the independence of Western Sahara, a territory Morocco annexed in
1975.br /
br /
The Commissionrsquo;s final report was made public in January 2006. It
acknowledged the responsibility of the Moroccan authorities for gross
human rights violations, recommended reparation for victims and called
for further actions by the Moroccan authorities to guarantee that such
violations do not recur.br /
br /
Amnesty International's report warns that four years after the IER
completed its work, its achievements risk being debilitated by the lack
of political will of the Moroccan authorities.br /
br /
It also says that the onus is on the Moroccan authorities to deliver on
promises and to implement key recommendations made by the IER to ensure
non-repetition.br /
br /
The IER investigated over 700 cases of enforced disappearance occurring between the mid-1960s and the early 1990s. br /
br /
br /
The IER said that it had resolved 742 cases of enforced disappearance.
The 66 pending cases were investigated by the CCDH, of which it
confirmed to have resolved about 60. br /
br /
Despite repeated promises, a list of all clarified cases has not yet been published.br /
br /
The Amnesty International report criticizes the IERrsquo;s failure to
recommend that the authorities address justice for the victims as a
natural progression of its work in investigating human rights
violations.br /
br /
The IER also failed to call for a vetting mechanism to ensure that
officials reasonably suspected of committing human rights violations
are suspended.br /
br /
Amnesty International recognizes that some positive steps have been
taken, particularly in providing financial compensation to victims, but
also in medical rehabilitation and restoration of employment. However,
there is no appeal mechanism to enable victims to challenge decisions
in their cases.br /
br /
quot;Amnesty International believes that there can be no genuine
reconciliation without restoring the dignity of victims by providing a
full explanation of reasons why they were victimized,quot; said Malcolm
Smart.br /
br /
quot;Without holding perpetrators accountable for their crimes and
introducing real safeguards to protect society from the recurrence of
such gross human rights violations, talk of a genuine desire to face
the past in the aim of building a better future seems hollow.quot;br /]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[img src=http://www.amnesty.org/sites/impact.amnesty.org/files/imagecache/previewsize/sites/impact.amnesty.org/files/PUBLIC/Regions/MENA/western-sahara-A-Haider-100.jpg alt= title=  /br/Amnesty International has welcomed the news that Aminatou Haidar, a Sahrawi human rights activist who has spent the past month on hunger strike in Lanzarote airport, has returned home and been reunited with her children.br /
br /
Aminatou Haidar said that she was allowed to fly back to Western Sahara on a private plane after being informed by a Spanish official that an agreement was reached between the Moroccan and Spanish authorities. Her passport was returned to her on arrival by the Moroccan authorities.br /
br /
She told Amnesty International on Friday that her return was ldquo;a victory for human rights and justicerdquo;. br /
br /
Aminatou Haidar has been on hunger strike since 15 November after she was expelled from Western Sahara by the Moroccan authorities. She was admitted to hospital on Thursday morning as her health deteriorated.br /
br /
ldquo;We are delighted that Aminatou Haidar has finally been allowed home and obtained back her passport,rdquo; said Philip Luther, Deputy Director of Amnesty Internationalrsquo;s Middle East and North Africa Programme. br /
br /
ldquo;There must, however, be no conditions imposed on her as a result. She, and other Sahrawi human rights defenders, should be able to enjoy their right to freedom of expression without fear of retribution.rdquo; br /
br /
A plane carrying Aminatou Haidar, her sister and her doctor landed in Laayoune at about midnight on Thursday. There was reportedly a heavy security presence in the city, particularly around Aminatou Haidarrsquo;s family home.br /
br /
According to Moroccorsquo;s official news agency, the activist was allowed to return following requests by ldquo;friendrdquo; countries to find a humanitarian solution. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton welcomed Moroccorsquo;s decision to allow Aminatou Haidar to return ldquo;on humanitarian groundsrdquo;.nbsp; Amnesty International has called for her unconditional return since she was stranded in Lanzarote airport.br /
br /
Aminatou Haidar was detained at Laayoune airport in Western Sahara on 13 November when she returned from a month-long visit to other countries, including the USA, where she received the 2009 Civil Courage Prize, awarded annually ldquo;for steadfast resistance to evil at great personal risk.rdquo;br /
br /
She was questioned about why she had given her home as Western Sahara rather than ldquo;Moroccan Saharardquo; on her landing card; she was also asked about her travel, as well as her political opinions and affiliations.br /
br /
Her Moroccan passport was then confiscated and she was detained in the airport overnight.br /
br /
She says that on 14 November Moroccan officials offered to release her if she would publicly acknowledge Moroccorsquo;s ldquo;sovereigntyrdquo; over Western Sahara. She refused to do so, and a few hours later she was put on a flight to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.br /
br /
Amnesty International wrote to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on 11 December, urging him to continue his efforts to obtain Aminatou Haidarrsquo;s return to Western Sahara, unconditionally and without delay, and to ensure that her documents were returned to her. br /
br /
Amnesty International also reiterated its call for the inclusion of a human rights monitoring component in the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara, in place since 1991 to monitor a ceasefire between Morocco and the Polisario Front, and to organize and conduct a referendum on the status of the territory.br /
br /
The incorporation of a human rights component in the UN Missionrsquo;s mandate, up for renewal in April 2010, would be an important step forward towards addressing human rights violations in Western Sahara.br /
br /
Western Sahara is the subject of a territorial dispute between Morocco, which claims sovereignty, and the Polisario Front, which calls for an independent state in the territory and has set up a self-proclaimed government-in-exile in refugee camps in south-western Algeria.br /]]></description>

br /
Aminatou Haidar, who is currently in intensive care, refuses to be fed through a tube and is determined to continue her hunger strike.br /
br /
She started her hunger strike on 15 November in protest at her expulsion and to demand that she be allowed to return home. She was taken to Lanzarote General Hospital at about 1am.br /
br /
Amnesty International said it was quot;deeply regrettablequot; that the Moroccan authorities have not yet allowed Aminatou Haidar to return to her home and her children in Laayoune.br /
br /
The activist was detained at Laayoune airport, Western Sahara on 13 November when she returned from a month-long visit to other countries, including the USA where she accepted the 2009 Civil Courage Prize, awarded annually quot;for steadfast resistance to evil at great personal risk.quot;br /
br /
She was questioned about why she had given her home as Western Sahara rather than quot;Moroccan Saharaquot; on her landing card; she was also asked about her travel, as well as her political opinions and affiliations.br /
br /
Her Moroccan passport and identity card were then confiscated and she was detained in the airport overnight.br /
br /
She says that on 14 November Moroccan officials offered to release her if she would publicly acknowledge Moroccorsquo;s ldquo;sovereigntyrdquo; over Western Sahara. She refused to do so, and a few hours later she was put on a flight to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.br /
br /
Amnesty International wrote to Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations on 11 December, urging him to continue his efforts to obtain Aminatou Haidarrsquo;s return to Western Sahara, unconditionally and without delay, and that her identity card and passport are restored.br /
br /
On 7 and 10 December, he had expressed concern about the condition of Aminatou Haidar, and acknowledged the need for an urgent resolution of her case.br /
br /
The Moroccan authorities have so far refused to comply with their international obligations, and insist that Aminatou Haidar quot;renouncedquot; her Moroccan nationality.br /
br /
quot;Aminatou Haidar's expulsion appears to reflect a growing intolerance on the part of the Moroccan authorities to the exercise by Sahrawis of their rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly,quot; said Malcolm Smart, Director of the Middle East and North Africa Programme of Amnesty International.br /
br /
In recent months, Amnesty International has noted an increase of reports of harassment of Sahrawi human rights defenders and activists including violations of their freedom of movement, verbal intimidation and threats, increased surveillance, the prevention of activists meeting with foreign observers, and the confiscation of travel documents. br /
br /
Amnesty International's letter to Ban Ki-moon highlighted the specific responsibility of the UN towards Western Sahara, which is a non self-governing territory under the UN Charter.br /
br /
The organization called for a legal opinion by the UN on the legal status of the inhabitants of Western Sahara, particularly of those, like Aminatou Haidar, in a situation of statelessness or legal limbo as a result of actions of the Moroccan authorities, and to put such advice in the public domain.br /
br /
It also reiterated Amnesty Internationalrsquo;s calls for the inclusion of a human rights monitoring component in the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara, in place since 1991 to monitor a cease-fire between Morocco and the Polisario Front, and to organize and conduct a referendum on the status of the territory.br /
br /
quot;The incorporation of a human rights component in the UN Missionrsquo;s mandate, up for renewal in April 2010, would be an important step forward to addressing human rights violations in Western Sahara,quot; said Malcolm Smart.]]></description>
