Amnesty International

We noted Amnesty International a great deal at this site.  We like the idea of Amnesty but we grasp that the idea is not always what is practiced.

We'll never forget the embarrassment when they tried to be groupies for Barack Obama, for example.

But ARAB WEEKLY's Saad Guerraoui reports something even worse:



Morocco is still waiting for Amnesty International to provide evidence of its accusations to authorities that they hacked the phone of a reporter.
But Amnesty International is beating around the bush. The Moroccan government has made a single request to AI: provide proof of your accusations. In the meantime, the human rights group is lost in semantic considerations and biased reminders of the kingdom’s human rights matters “balance sheet,” instead of providing the long-awaited material evidence.
Morocco’s unique request is both rational and logical while Amnesty shows, day after day, that it clearly does not have any evidence for the accusation it has levelled at Rabat. Its charges have nonetheless provided the basis for stories in no less than 17 international media outlets.


Is Guerraoui correct?

We think the objections he raises are worth noting.
