151 MEPs ask Mohamed VI to pardon the former number two Moroccan Air Force47 French parliamentarians have signed the letter and only two Spanish, none of the PPIgnacio Cembrero - Madrid - 11/11/2010
More than 150 MEPs called yesterday a letter to King Mohamed VI of Morocco to give his grace Kaddour Terhzaz Lieutenant Colonel, 73. The former number two Moroccan Air Force serving a sentence of twelve years in prison.
Among the signers are 47 parliamentarians from France, the country with more sensitivity to the Maghreb, but only two Spanish: the socialist and green Raimon Obiols Raul Romeva i Rueda. Several members of the PSOE withdrew his signature at the last moment and none of the PP wanted to sign the letter. Although they are less numerous in the Parliament that the Spanish, Swedish MEPs are more (7) and Finland (5) that heading.
The letter is, however, written with exquisite language. The signatories claim to know "attachment to democratic values and justice" of Mohamed VI and then ask him why his grace condemning Terhzaz because "it was entitled to a fair trial."
The lieutenant colonel was convicted in November 2008 to request the Emperor, in 2005, social improvements for Air Force pilots who spent long years in prisons of their adversary, the Polisario Front.
In the letter to the king remembered Terhzaz pilots were brave and if they were shot down by the enemy was because in those years (1980-81) Moroccan planes did not have a missile defense system, something that had already revealed in an interview Casablanca, Najaf Ali, a captain in the Air Force.
Terhzaz was convicted for "divulging military secrets." Despite heart problems, his conditions of detention are particularly hard as MEPs remember: do not have a mattress to sleep, lack of privacy and can barely make contact with other inmates.
"We express our incomprehension at such judicial and human tragedy," concludes the letter of the MEPs.
