Freedom from Torture provides support to torture victims. 71% of their clients are from these countries: Sri Lanka, Iran, Afganistan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Pakistan, Turkey, Cameroon, Nigeria, Iraq, and South Sudan

Morocco is not on their list, however, Morocco is in the top five countries with reported torture, according to Amnesty international. Several reports of torture have been made against law officials and the government of Morocco. Law officials are known to torture suspects in order to get a confession, even if the suspect has not committed the crime. The use of torture to obtain confessions then leads to unfair trials and imprisonment of the wrong person.

Cases of Torture in Morocco

One case reported in Morocco included the world championship winning boxer, Zakaria Moumni. Moumni was "arrested" at the Rabat airport in Morocco and taken to an unknown location, where he was was repeatedly torturted and held against no charges. According to Moumni, "They [security officials] beat him, hung him by his arms, applied electric shocks, and deprived him of sleep and food over a three-day period."

Another case popular in mainstream media is that of Ali Aarrass. A Belgian-Moroccan, who was forced to return to Morocco from Spain- where he was taking care of his ill father. The Moroccan government suspected Aarass of supporting terrorist organizations. He was held in a detention center and tortured for twelve days. His claim's of torture have still not been investigated even though they have been confirmed as true by the UN's Special Rapporteur on torture. Aarass provided a confession, and is imprisoned for twelve years.
