In the wake of the September 15th Ceuta events, Morocco’s National Human Rights Institution (CNDH) has urged potential victims of human rights violations to contact the council. This initiative follows reports of alleged inhumane treatment of migrants, which have sparked national outrage and calls for investigations.
In its statement, the council invited all affected individuals—adults, children, or their guardians—to come forward and share their experiences.
Amina Bouayach, president of the CNDH, spoke to Hespress about the ongoing situation in Northern Morocco, highlighting the prevalence of disinformation and the necessity of a thorough investigation. “Our monitoring team has reviewed various data by closely evaluating the situation, following up on witness statements, and observing discussions in digital spaces,” she explained.
Bouayach noted that while some information about the incident has been proven inaccurate, other details have been verified.
She revealed that the monitoring process also involves assessing conditions on the ground through the council’s regional committee in Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima.
“The committee has conducted several visits, the most recent being yesterday in one of the northern regions,” she said, emphasizing that the central office provides strong support for the team’s efforts.
In light of the controversial images of “naked migrants” that have ignited public outrage, Bouayach reaffirmed the council’s commitment to transparency. “We are awaiting the outcomes of the Public Prosecution’s investigation, which has promised to publish its findings and seek justice for potential victims,” she stated.
The migration attempt, which began on September 15th, gained significant traction on social media, particularly resonating with youth and minors, and reflecting broader social discontent.
Bouayach expressed confidence that those drawn to these social media calls will likely respond to the council’s appeals. She assured that all details and outcomes from the council’s investigations, including the number of alleged victims and established facts, will soon be disclosed to the general public.
