Mohand Laenser, Secretary of the Popular Movement (MP) denounced the statements issued by Riadi, stressing that “this dissonant position plays on the emotions of the Moroccan people.”
The MP noted that the attitudes and opinions of AMDH are “a confirmation of the association’s hatred of the sovereignty of Morocco.”
According to the press release, MP stated that these statements are conclusive evidence that “this association is backed by a certain political agenda.”
Furthermore, the party accused the AMDH of “following those who unfortunately devote all their efforts and resources to attack and counter Morocco, and adopting separatist thesis”.
Talking to the news website Hespress, Khadija Ryadi stated that AMDH supports “the extension of the prerogatives of MINURSO to include controlling human rights in the Sahara and Tindouf.”
She added that the AMDH’s position is not new, but dates back to 2008. “This position was based on several reports by international NGOs which considered this mechanism capable of protecting human rights not only in Morocco, but also in Tindouf camps,” she said.
