Tamek Responds to A Letter To Members Of The US Senate Regarding The Events Of “Gdim Izik”

While ten American senators wrote to the State Department regarding the Sahara conflict, the Director General of the Moroccan Penitentiary Administration, Mohamed Salah Tamek, supplied various facts in a response letter, particularly on the Gdim Izik captives.

Tamek reminded in a letter to the American Secretary of State in response to the departure of the American senators that the detainees of Gdim Izik are “prosecuted for having slain elements of the police force rather than for reasons relating to any nonviolent movement.”.

“Would the ten signatories have permitted dissidents who invaded and ransacked the Capitol and killed some police officers in order to be deemed peaceful protesters?” Tamek wonders in this letter, labeling the letter signed by ten American senators as “misplaced, false, and entirely biased.”

The Director General of the Penitentiary Administration has also replied to the Moroccan prison situation, providing details on “acceptable” incarceration circumstances. He also emphasized the advancements made in improving incarceration conditions and reinforcing respect for detainees’ rights.
