Statewatch has learned that a pardon request calling on Moroccan authorities to release rendition victim Abou Elkassim Britel from Äin Bourja prison in Casablanca has been supported by 62 Italian MPs, 25 senators and 12 MEPs, and is due to be delivered by a delegation travelling to Morocco next weekend. Italian diplomatic representatives were also reportedly involved in talks to seek a positive outcome, that is, Britel's inclusion in a list of prisoners who are set to receive a royal pardon on occasion of celebrations for the birth of the king's daughter, expected to take place in a month's time.
