RABAT, Morocco (AP) - Moroccan human rights activists said Monday that a truth commission investigating four decades of violations had seriously underestimated the number of victims when it said hundreds had died in arbitrary detention and government shootings.
Activists and former prisoners said the toll was in the thousands, and criticized the commission — the first of its kind in the Arab world — for failing to call for the punishment of perpetrators.
"It's a deception," said Khaled Bakhti, 41, a former prisoner. "They failed to establish the fate of the missing and to call for the punishment of the guilty who continue to hold senior posts."
