The seventh case concerned Mr. Hicham El Hachimi, who was allegedly abducted from his home, located in Al Mohammadia, by police agents in civilian clothing on 30 November 2010, and then taken to an unknown destination. Standard procedure 431. The Working Group transmitted three newly-reported cases to the Government. 432. The first case concerned Mr. Mustafa Saleh Hnini, who was allegedly abducted on 6 November 1975, in Zbara (nearby Amgala), by the Moroccan Royal Armed Forces under the command of El Ghajdami. 433. The second case concerned Mr. Omar Abdelouahed Sénoussi, a political activist, who was allegedly abducted from his workshop in Kenitra by Government forces, at the beginning of the 70s (between 1973 and 1974). 434. The third case concerned Mr. Omar El Ouassouli (or Wassouli), who was allegedly last seen in June 1988, at the headquarters of the Security Services, at Tetouan. Prompt intervention 435. On 31 May 2011, the Working Group, together with four other Special Procedures mechanisms, transmitted a prompt intervention letter to the Government regarding the alleged use of force by the police against peaceful demonstrators, including during a demonstration held on 15 May 2011, to denounce the existence of a secret place of detention in Temara. 436. On 29 July 2011, the Government replied to this communication and reported that there have been more than 717 protests and only 77 have been forbidden by the competent authorities. 437. Concerning the allegations of ill-treatment during the demonstration in front of the Direction Genérale de la Sureveillance du Territoire (DGST), the Government noted that this demonstration was not permitted on the basis of a notification to the organisers in conformity with the legislation in force (article 17 of the Code of Public Liberties and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights - ICCPR). 438. The Government highlighted that, following the instructions by the judiciary and the Government, the alleged place of detention was visited by the Attorney General to Rabat’s Appeal Court on 18 May 2011, who affirmed not having verified the existence of any place that could be considered a secret place of detention or aimed at immoral or illegal practices. The Government further indicated that, the same day, a Parliamentary Commission of representatives of political parties and of the National Human Rights Council, visited this place and concluded that no such detention place existed. 439. Regarding the legal basis for the use of force, the Government stressed that, although it values the use of dialogue, the employment of security forces is aimed at maintaining order and public security in situations when demonstrators carry out uncivilised acts. Therefore, the intervention of public forces was dictated by the obligation of the application of the law, the preservation of public order and the protection of common property, in conformity with domestic laws and the ICCPR. 90
