Rabat - Morocco's Interior Ministry has reconsidered its decision to deport six Sub-Saharan nationals arraigned Monday in Tangier, following the mediation of the National Human Rights Council (CNDH).
The Council had received a request from the families of the six sub-Saharans arraigned Monday in Tangier and subject to an "administrative decision of expulsion from the Moroccan territory", CNDH said in statement.
The Sub-Saharans - four from Cameroon, one from Niger and one from Nigeria- are in charge of families and young children, the same source pointed out.
Considering that "the implementation of the administrative decision would result in the separation of families, CNDH initiated a mediation mission, after which the Interior Ministry has reconsidered the expulsion decision by accepting the request of the families", the statement noted.
"CNDH hails this decision in line with the humanistic approach and international standards of human rights that govern the new migration policy" of the Kingdom, adopted a year ago by HM King Mohammed VI, the statement added.
