The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, alerted to the case of Mohamed Hajib by Alkarama, declared his detention to be arbitrary, as his "conviction was based on a confession obtained under torture", and calls upon the Moroccan Government to "release him immediately and award him appropriate compensation".
Mohamed Hajib (aged 31), of German and Moroccan nationality, is currently detained in Tiflet prison, having been arrested on 17 February 2010 at Casablanca airport on his way back from Frankfurt.
