Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the state of human rights in Morocco.

​We are encouraged by the steps Morocco has taken in recent years to address human rights concerns, including its ratification of the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture (OPCAT), and ending the practice of trying civilians in military courts. We continue to monitor and raise human rights issues with the Moroccan authorities and support Morocco's efforts to make progress on human rights.
