The Moroccan ambassador in Geneva, Omar Zniber, expressed his protest and indignation at the excesses of Mary Lawlor, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, "who without any reservation, launched gratuitous and unfounded accusations about the statement made by the Permanent Representation of the Kingdom in New York, on the duplicity and involvement of a separatist, known for her role plays, staging, and abject victimization".
