Amnesty was led astray or rather chose to derail from defending human rights to defending a group that has a political agenda sugar coated in a human rights cover. Amnesty, which operates freely in Morocco, preferred to offend the institution of the country that hosts it. Yet Amnesty, carelessly put forward uncorroborated claims coupled with a hostile media campaign to smear Morocco’s reputation. The Moroccan government has taken too much time to respond insisting on Amnesty to provide tangible evidence for its claims or else withdraw its report and acknowledge its fault. It is high time the Moroccan government sued Amnesty at a court for defamation and unfounded accusations demanding reparations for its irresponsible acts.
