Paris requires shedding light on French NGO's demand to schedule hearing for DGST

In response to the demand of the Moroccan authorities, we have immediately required to shed light as soon as possible on this unfortunate incident, in the spirit of the friendship between Morocco and France, said spokesperson of the French foreign affairs ministry Romain Nadal in a statement.

France's news agency (AFP) recently reported that a French NGO has demanded to schedule a hearing for the DGST in this case.

Minister delegate for foreign affairs Mbarka Bouaida summoned, on Friday at the ministry's headquarters, France's ambassador in Rabat Charles Fries to express Morocco's strong protest following information about a complaint lodged against the Director General of Territory Surveillance (DGST) concerning an alleged torture complicity in Morocco.

A statement by the foreign affairs ministry said that Bouaida affirmed that Morocco flatly rejects the cavalier procedure that runs counter diplomatic usages and the baseless judiciary cases that were cited.
