Morocco’s National Human Rights Council, through its President Amina Bouayach, announced that Somalia has agreed to transfer six Moroccan nationals convicted on charges related to their links to ISIS.

Bouayach confirmed that this agreement will allow those sentenced to serve their sentences in Morocco, after they were convicted to death last February by a Somali military court.

Bouayach made this statement on the sidelines of a seminar dedicated to the Council’s international relations organized within the framework of the 29th International Book and Publishing Fair.

Bouayach pointed to the joint efforts between Moroccan NGOs and official authorities to rescue and repatriate sentenced Moroccan citizens in Somalia, reflecting solidarity and concern for human rights and justice.

Several other Moroccan NGOs have mobilized their efforts by calling on the kingdom’s official authorities to rescue and repatriate the six Moroccan nationals sentenced to death on February 29th by a military court in northern Somalia on terrorism-related charges.
