The political and constitutional reform in 2005 and 2006
was characterized by some positive action by the
Moroccan government aimed at consolidating the
principles of human rights in Morocco as it is known
internationally, such as Morocco's decision to engage in
the first Optional Protocol to the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the lifting
of the reservations on articles 20 and 22 of the
Convention against Torture, and article 14 of the
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial
Discrimination, and Article 14 of the International
Convention on the Rights of the Child, Morocco's
ratification of certain international conventions, such
as the Convention against bribery, the Convention No.
135 on Labor to provide protection and facilities for
representatives of workers, and some of the decisions of
property which banks amnesty for many detainees of the
so-called jihad shipped, which was partly a correction
of the violations that accompanied the file against
terrorism, and authorizing the Child Citizenship Act of
August foreign Moroccan mother the right to Moroccan
nationality, in addition to the law on the
criminalization of torture. However, these initiatives
remain limited due to the magnitude of the violations,
which are still ongoing in Morocco, which were due to
non-application of the law or are improperly applied, as
well as a lack of accountability of many of those
responsible for such violations. First : the political
and civil rights First : public freedoms text of the
Constitution on the Moroccan set of public freedoms such
as freedom of movement and freedom of assembly and
freedom of opinion and expression and freedom of
association and to engage in political parties and trade
union organizations. Have been dahirs public freedoms in
1958, comes to the Royal Decree of association and Dahir
public gatherings and Dahir practice of the profession
of journalism. These Dahirs subjected to a series of
amendments since its release, the latest amendments in
2002. In spite of the importance of the amendments,
which tried to expand the space of public freedoms in
Morocco, those laws need further amendment to suit
international conventions ratified by Morocco, and in
particular the International Covenant of Civil and
Political Rights. Also, these laws will not be applied
properly, in many cases, by the government authorities,
as has been the Moroccan Center for Human Rights record
of violations of freedom of opinion and the press and
freedom of assembly Abroumi and freedom of association.
One-public gatherings : at the level of the freedom of
public gatherings record Center : - Suppression of the
protest movements of the holders of postgraduate degrees
broken by the authorities in 5200 to prevent many of its
stances, the protest marches and peaceful languish
degree holders without undue legal, in spite of respect
for the organizers of the gatherings out procedures
required by the law governing public gatherings. As
protest movements have been organized by the categories
of holders of postgraduate degrees broken before
parliament exposed to violent security interventions,
resulting in serious injuries among many citizens, both
participants in the protests, or those who wanted them
happened to be at that moment gathering place near the
protest. One of the stark examples of such interventions
security after the eve of the protest organized by the
Union of senior managers suspended on Tuesday, 17 May
2005 from the security interventions left more than 150
injuries of varying degrees of severity (fractures,
injuries, injuries in the head and sensitive places,
cases of coma, bruises, bruises ...) And the same thing
has been stopped similar their blind Almattlon on
Thursday, 19 May 2005 Ave Mohamed V opposite the train
station. The continued Moroccan Center for Human Rights
file frameworks Supreme deactivated, and handling
security for the authorities concerned with the file,
where the evolution of the stick and the big clubs,
which was launched on the capital and the emergence of
frameworks deactivated the streets of Rabat, to the
evolution of detention and judicial follow-up, with the
arrest of Al-Azhar, Mohamed Ahsain and presented on
Monday 04 Julius in 2005 the Department of Public
Prosecutions, which is a flagrant breach of the right of
peaceful demonstrations and stances, and freedom of
expression and opinion. And more is that the arrest was
following the storming of the Corps of rapid-reaction
forces for Syndicate headquarters, and the attack on the
Supreme frames inside the campus of the Association and
the Chamber offers floors filled with the blood of the
wounded .. Where was the transfer of more than 50 people
to the Ibn Sina Hospital, suffered various injuries
serious : (blows to the head and brain, fractures,
bruises ...). It also ruled that the conditions of
detention of two security Bakdal was tragic where the
prisoners without eating or drinking in dormitories. The
Moroccan Center for Human Rights as follow with deep
concern the increase in violent security force
interventions in the right broken degree holders, which
are aimed at undermining the organizers of the protest
movements that claim to the right to work, which is
reflected in the use of violence and force cruelly
exaggerated, and the targeting of sensitive areas : the
head, hands, legs .... he emphasizes the following :
1-denouncing all interventions security violent broken
right holders of certificates, 2-hold the government
responsible for grave abuses against citizens, and to
demand the opening of a formal investigation at these
attacks in the right broken, and to pursue and prosecute
those responsible, and should not enjoy impunity for
violations committed by them in the right category
broken. 3-invitation of the government to open a serious
dialogue, responsible and transparent manner with the
various categories broken in order to discuss ways of
solving the problem of unemployment and employment. It
also calls on the Moroccan human rights bodies to : -
take all measures to protect the right to meet
guaranteed under the Constitution, and, through a review
of the law on public meetings, in terms of making the
public meetings subject to the permit system and
reducing the intervention of the public authority in
groupings, the deletion of-limitations on the penalties
for violations groupings, the order - and the imposition
of penalty breeze regarding the delivery point statement
by the competent authorities, in-opening the door to
ordinary citizens the possibility of organizing
demonstrations by the public according to legal
controls, non-resort to violent methods at the foot to
disperse citizens during stances, which are notified by
the authorities and which do not cause any disturbance
to public order. m Two-press and the media :-Press Act :
Although the Moroccan Constitution provides for the
respect of freedom of expression, the government is
restricting the freedom of the press in the areas that
are considered sensitive.
The Act empowers the press to the government authority
subject to oversight by the press direct orders not to
publish articles on topics and specific events, and it
can seize and suspension of a license issued. In spite
of the new requirements and the task made by law No.
77.00 on the press and publication, which came into
effect on January 20, 2003, which is, in particular,
freedom of the press, printing and publishing and
promoting books, and also referring to the right of the
citizen in the Moroccan media and the right of different
media access to sources of news and information, the
center recorded on the following observations : - did
not respond to the Press and Publications Act amended to
the demands of professionals and Antzarat trade union
organizations, political, human rights, did not invoke
international conventions ratified by Morocco and the
legislation in force in democratic systems, and does not
take into account developments in the field of
information and communication technology ... under that
law-governed by the approximation of security led to the
intensification restrictions on the freedom of the press
and weaken the legal guarantees for the exercise of the
profession, rather than regulated by an approach that
takes into account the development of the press and
media. - If the law in the first chapter, to ensure
"freedom of the press, printing and publishing" ... And
the "right to information" and "the right of access to
sources of news", it, on the other hand, ruled ensure
"freedom of the press" as a condition for the initial
practice and as a resource that must be protected. But
no separate chapter or even a precise definition of
"freedom of the press" and their determinants and
fields. " - A law containing the phrases and vocabulary
without specific definitions such as public security and
the supreme interests of the country .., There were also
other vague expressions such as those used in the second
paragraph of Chapter 41, the lawmakers deliberately
undemanding leaves the door open the floodgates for the
interpretation and control, mud-law penalties of
deprivation of liberty, one of the main demands of the
Moroccan Center for Human Rights, but merely reduce the
periods in some cases, while very much in the imposition
of financial penalties and raise amounts to unreasonable
limits, which can be paid on the brink of bankruptcy.
Follow-up to the journalists : continued Moroccan Center
for Human Rights is deeply concerned a series of
contractions recorded in recent months at the level of
the exercise of freedom of opinion and expression, press
and publication, which is represented in the judicial
proceedings of a number of journalists and media
outlets, and the associated issues of publication and
expression of opinion. and it marks the deepest regret
These declines, and is considered a setback for the
progress achieved, but DNA, in the area of freedom of
opinion and expression and practice releases, as a
contradiction with all the slogans and statements,

dignity of the citizen. The record Center in 2005 in the

Constitution provides for freedom of association and
political parties, but that government authorities limit
the exercise of this right. Under the decree of 15

to support the lawyer. - Any person convicted has the
right to request a re-examination of the charges and
were convicted before a court of the other remedies
specified in the law. In this context, the Center
continues Moroccan human rights record absence of the
conditions of a fair trial in many of the trials both
for press crimes or terrorist offenses, and this is
reflected as follows : the refusal of the government-all
defense applications; - the refusal of the government to
subpoena witnesses; - the refusal of the government to
undergo medical on detainees who were subjected to
torture, rape and ill-treatment; - block defense of the
performance of his duties; - not to allow the accused to
speak, including clarification enough to prove
innocence; - adoption court records the judicial officer
with The Code of Criminal Procedure stipulates that
these records are reliable only for familiarity. With
this in mind that most of the detainees signed a summary
under pressure and coercion and threat to the petition
to reinstate the secret detention of torture again. It
demands the Moroccan Center for Human Rights judicial
authorities to provide conditions for a fair trial for
all accused, through the activation of the requirements
of the Code of Criminal Procedure, as demanded by the
following : - reduce the duration of custody to be kept
to a minimum, and to ensure the right of the detainee to
contact a defense quickly, and to take all necessary
measures to eliminate the phenomenon of impunity in the
right of state employees and agents responsible for the
practice of torture and inhuman and degrading treatment.
Open-depth and impartial investigation by the
authorities concerned, especially the Public Prosecutor
on all complaints of assaults and transactions and
dehumanizing, degrading the dignity to which they are
exposed detainees in secret prisons and police stations,
and the Royal Gendarmerie in prisons; - raising
reservations Morocco on article 22 of the International
Convention against Torture, which allows the Committee
against Torture of the United Nations, in order to carry
out its own inquiry and visit prisons and report in this
regard. - Opened investigations conducted after each
case of death in custody, detention or imprisonment,
particularly those that refer complaints to be a result
of torture; V. : the Equity and Reconciliation : the
form of the founding of the Equity and Reconciliation
Commission lawyer important event that characterized the
past two years. The establishment of this body
recommendation of the Advisory Council for Human Rights,
which under its laws, its composition and unable to
create new paradigm shift in the case of violations as
the demands and protests victims and the families of
abductees and with the rights of the families of
political prisoners who have found themselves once again
to tie the theme in the material compensation to victims
and their families without approaching the demand for a
legal and judicial proceedings guarantors for the
non-recurrence of what had happened in previous years.
It issued the Equity and Reconciliation Commission
report involves a number of positive aspects reflected
in : - disclosure of certain facts related Bmaghuli
determination and abductees, - determining the secret
places of detention, some types of
registration-torture-A series of mass graves,
direct-process of identification of remains and inform
their families, to identify regulations-some of the dead
wake of the social-attribution is clearly of the
security services, advocacy - I direct constitutional
reforms, legislative and judicial climate for ensuring
immunization of human rights, expand - reparation, but
the Moroccan Center for Human Rights considered the
report and recommendations of the Equity and
Reconciliation is a decrease substantially on the
serious violations of human rights, starting with the
events of the countryside in the mid-1950s to the year
1961, 1 963, 1965, 1969, and throughout the 1970s and
1980s and 1990s, and the files of torture and murder in
the hospitality authorities recorded in the various
regions in Morocco. The body had not been able to detect
and recognizing the facts, making its report and
recommendations without the demands of human rights
organizations as well as victims and their families.
This would not obviate the need for accountability of
the Moroccan state and its organs for serious violations
occurred in the past years, as the gross file is still
open and requires a constant struggle for the dignity
and protection of the Moroccan citizen of injustice and
arbitrariness, and prevent the recurrence of the
tragedies of the past. As was made clear size
restrictions that have governed the hearings organized
by the Equity and Reconciliation mention of the results
: Non-identified those responsible for violations, and
not Mgaspah responsible for the torture, kidnapping and
murder - was not able to access to disclosure of all the
facts, and leaving some of the files pending, Kmelvi
Mahdi Bin Baraka, Abdelatif Zeroual, - focus on the
rehabilitation of victims and rehabilitation of health
at the expense of knowledge identification of individual
responsibilities and the responsibilities of the organs
of the state-silence for determining causes of death and
skip the historical stages, especially in the first
years of independence, non-identification of bodies and
the authorities which have failed to cooperate with the
body. The Moroccan Center for Human Rights reaffirms the
following :
1-enshrine the principle of non-impunity and identify
individual and institutional responsibilities for grave
violations of human rights, with the establishment of
safeguards for the prevention and protection of the
non-recurrence of the past and open a new page to build
the rule of law, and through institutional reforms and
legislative, legal, administrative and educational;
2-release of the remaining detainees.

union or political, and to enable them to exercise all
their rights, including the right to a passport and the
right to travel outside of the national territory and
not harassed by the security authorities; 5-amendment to
the Penal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure, in
particular, the requirements relating to terrorist
offenses to cancel the negative additions to bring it in
line with international standards relating to arrest and
search procedures and communication counsel.
Justice and the judiciary made by the Ministry of
Justice to modernize the judiciary in its priority of
priorities, both at the level of modernization of the
courts in Morocco for the development and modernization
of the judiciary, in order to be able to face the
challenges of the third millennium, and to contribute to
the support of the series of economic and social
development in our country. The goals reflected the
modernization project of the courts in Morocco as
follows : • Increase the level of infrastructure of the
courts, and improve the functioning of the judicial
system, modernization of the judicial administration and
the strengthening of institutional capacity and
infrastructure of the Ministry of Justice, at the
central and provincial • update a significant number of
courts, and rehabilitation of infrastructure such
information to the courts, and the development of
programs to manage issues through informatics, and the
composition of the judges and staff in the field, and to
support the institutional modernization process to
continue after the end of this project • case management
procedures and Assister through computing, including the
positive benefits of self-employment, and speed
performance, and reducing the duration of broadcasting
issues, and the dissemination of information, legal and
judicial. • facilitate the entry of the elimination of
party litigants, through what would be prepared to
provide guidance and information the courts. • upgrading
the courts and the lifting of the performance of
personnel, and methods of rationalizing the judicial
administration of justice so that the Moroccan justice
modern and developed, contributing effectively to
support the development and provision of a suitable
atmosphere for investment and meet the challenges of
globalization. The most prominent feature of this reform
project that is part of the reform adopted by the
government such as the current political stage in the
rear although it is nothing more than an extension of
the political controversy that erupted in the former
government, following the successive reports of the
International Monetary Fund and the American report on
the status of management and education and the
judiciary. The result of this political perspective, the
reformist vision of the project at the level of
treatment depends on the sectoral approach to deal with
the judiciary is not as independent constitutional
authority, but simply a sector of the ministerial sector
entrusted to the Ministry of Justice. The reform of
justice and the judiciary, and defend the independence
of this vital organ important, the family comes to
justice and the judiciary alone as it is also important
to the various categories of the Moroccan people eager
to adopt the principles of justice and fairness, the
rule of law and the rule of institutions, and therefore,
any reform can not be unique to any governmental
perception in the absence of any dialogue or
consultation with the other components of the judiciary
and the justice of the parties to judges and lawyers,
experts and staff to write a check and the rest of the
legal profession, etc.. First : the independence of the
judiciary can not imagine any reform project viable in
this section, without the adoption of a global deal with
the judiciary as an independent constitutional
authority, away from the prevailing practice sectoral
approach, which is simply the elimination of the sectors
parallel assigned to the Ministry of Justice, or rather
are conducting workshops of reform contained in the
Folds the government statement only. We can also talk
about the independence of the judiciary, without
reviewing the constitutionality of verification
mechanisms and guarantees of independence, in particular
clause explicitly in the Constitution as the judiciary
"authority" along the lines of the legislative and
executive powers, in order to secure the foundations of
effective protection of the independence, as well as a
real separation of highlighted, in a way that makes
judicial affairs, and operation free of interference
directly or indirectly to the executive. As reform
requires rethinking the role of the Minister of Justice,
as an executive, identify and clarify the terms of
reference strictly enforced, as evidenced intervention
in the field of the judiciary, for example, evident in
some particular areas of law relating to the recruitment
and assignment and guidance, promotion and discipline,
election and Inspection etc.. To correct for reform as
well, we have to reconsider restructuring and the role
of some of the institutions involved in the judicial
body, at the top of the Supreme Council of Magistracy as
unconstitutional, and in the direction of a broadly
representative of the components of the judicial system
inside, and then expand and rationalize its terms of
reference in order to contextualize the actual exercise
of jurisdiction, then a reduction of the role of the
minister in this institution, especially in the area of
discipline, which raises the disciplinary regime for
judges of the nature of human rights problems related to
ensuring a fair trial as a matter of basic human rights,
as it does not accept the logic and the principles of
justice and fairness that combines the minister to name
a few-as a judge at the same date in the follow-up of a
judge judges to the Council etc.. This became
significantly in late 2003, when the assignment judge
Jaafar Hassun-member elected in the Supreme Council of
Magistracy-the same Council and the follow-up
appointments, which was the issue which provoked the
timely attention of the national and international
public, as well as criticism of human rights
associations (on the matter was also an active member of
the Moroccan Association for the Defense the
independence of the judiciary). Finally, the defense of
the independence of the judiciary, and secure real
reform in this section requires patriotic men of justice
themselves, especially judges, the extent of the legal
and moral courage to protect their independence from the
executive branch, through adherence to the rule of law,
improving the efficiency in their ranks and purge from
each of the nervous harmful to him pursuant to the
ethics, then Non-offending with the directions and
instructions that may be issued to them by the executive
authority, directly or indirectly, especially if the
directives of uncorroborated or legally justified.
Second-reform of the judicial system to another level,
the reform requires reconsideration of the legal system
consisting of the Statute of the judges, and some of the
requirements of the judicial system in order to adapt
and updated with international declarations and
covenants on the independence of the judiciary, then
cleared some of the items that canceled Soke of
expression and participation. It also can not be
ignored, the need to breathe life into the "general
assembly" of the courts as a legally qualified for the
conduct of the organization and tracking of judicial
work within the courts, as is assigned primarily to
assess the results of the judicial process and the
rationalization of its direction, as opposed to the
increasing popularity of the rolling technique where
practicable sovereignty and the domination of
administrative officials who hold the powers of the
judicial and administrative resolutions. It also
requires reform of the judiciary pay attention to the
aspect of the composition of the judges and
rehabilitation, and push them in the direction of
greater specialization in the areas of getting employed,
as well as the qualifications appropriate to the nature
of the new issues that have become subjected to justice,
especially with the regional and international
developments accelerated, and the recall, for example,
is not limited to crimes related to computer and
Internet technology, The crimes of money laundering and
currency counterfeiting, as well as in the fight against
terrorism ... Third : the reform of writing seizure
There is no doubt that the reform of justice can not be
reconciled without reform of the actors inside, a
writing discipline, which plays an important and
critical role in the judicial process in general.
However, the exception of this institution so far out of
the reforms and government programs and legislation that
defined our country in the field of justice and law
(Amendment of Criminal Procedure Code-a-family
settlement of the administrative and physical judges ..)
That would have a negative impact on the series of
reform in this field and work to shut down or impede
unless include also this category, and working for the
activation of the destruction of the Royal Address on
January 29, 2003 during the opening of the judicial
year, in which he recommended the improvement of
material and moral conditions of workers in writing
seizure encourage them to philanthropy and tender, and
protect them from all temptations and potential
deviations. In this context, should have the awards to
each sector employees without exception. It also demands
the need to ensure the right staff in the Justice
Management and union work and to protect them from all
the narrowing or exceeded. As is also imperative in
raising the level of training and efficiency within this
institution, and the improvement and modernization of
the mechanisms and conditions of engaging in the courts
for the benefit of the slow speed litigants benefit from
the various judicial services, as well as in order to
ensure an effective and fruitful role of this
institution-along with the rest of society actors-in
dedication to the principles of human rights and lay the
foundations of justice fair and equitable in the
achievement of the rule of law and building democratic
community desired. Fourth : the status of the prison and
prisoners-and the status of prisons : The form of Law
No. 23 / 98 on the organization and functioning of penal
institutions in 1999, a qualitative shift in the legal
system governing the prisons in Morocco. The appropriate
law virtually the Standard Minimum Rules for the
Treatment of Prisoners adopted by the first United
Nations Conference on the Prevention of Crime and
Treatment of Offenders, and other relevant principles.
The enactment of the law guarantees and rights based on
the principles of equality and respect for human
dignity. "The Moroccan Center for Human Rights measures
by the prison administration and reintegration in the
reform of the penitentiary and rehabilitation of
prisoners and their reintegration into society through
education, training and rehabilitation as well as
observers and educators prison. The center hopes to stop
these achievements on the ground to assess and make
observations and suggestions, through visits to the tour
to some of the prisons but unfortunately the prison
administration refused to license to such visits,
contrary to article 84 of the Act. In spite of the
efforts exerted by the prison administration, they
remain limited and includes only some of the
institutions and not the other, where a large number of
penal institutions live and status slumped because of
overcrowding and lack of nutrition and the spread of
infectious diseases and weak telemedicine, and some
deviant behaviors such as using drugs, sexual abuse and
the spread of the phenomena of extortion, bribery and
favoritism, Moreover, the deficit is the large number of
observers educators and the weakness of the budget
allocated for the administration of prisons and
reintegration, limited sports and cultural activities
and vocational training because of the lack of necessary
equipment and lack of adequate frameworks for framing.
Chief among these institutions : a civil prison of Sale,
the local prison in Casablanca-Akasha, Hafez central
prison, the prison agricultural Otaiteh two Sidi Kacem.
Based on the reports received by the Moroccan Center for
Human Rights, it is recorded, as well as, the following
observations :-the lack of respect map prison : in the
absence of clear road custodial according to a
scientific study designed to take into account the real
(central prisons, local jails, rehabilitation centers
and rehabilitation), based on the proportion of high
static and the high crime rate, type and geographic
origins of the perpetrators. Non-observance of safety
requirements : It is noted that some of the buildings do
not meet the requirements of proper ventilation,
especially when the outbreak of fires. The fire proved
that the new prison hungry. Non-observance of safety
requirements may lead to tragedies up to violations of
the right to life and physical safety of the prisoners,
which requires the need for expertise on buildings and
prisons directly repair. Non-availability of the network
into account ethnic health : A number of prisons were
built on sites that are not available on the ethnic
health, and was resorted to drilling health, which is a
threat to the surrounding environment imprisonment, and
contributes to the emission of odors and the
proliferation of insects, which poses a threat to the
health of each of the relevant penal institution and its
surroundings. - Lack of the necessary facilities : As
many of the prisons do not have the facilities necessary
to meet the needs of static imprisonment as provided for
by law, for example : - visiting rooms, which is almost
in some cases cells, does not function in facilitating
communication between the prisoner and his family; -
some yards leeway too narrow, to the extent that the
prisoners would prefer to stay in their cells, which
they consider (overcrowding) welcome from those arenas.
- Lack of classroom study or vocational training
workshops in some prisons (Rashid, the son of Ahmad and
Zayu ...). - Lack of privacy legitimacy malls, where, in
spite of the positives of this system, the Fadaeath not
generalized to all institutions. - Lack of spaces for
sport or recreation, or rooms for Bookcase, most
prisons; Proceeding from the above, it must be
emphasized that the following actions be taken : the
need for effective application of the law governing the
penal institutions. To improve the financial situation
of the staff of the Department of Prisons and the
lifting of the financial allocations earmarked for the
Department to develop effective programs for the
formation and education for the benefit of prisoners
from the educators and observers on the other hand.
Ensure that the terms of respect for the dignity and
rights of prisoners in the care, rehabilitation and
aftercare. The need to reform the penal institutions
within the national scheme of comprehensive reform
within the sector. Licensing unconditionally,
associations and human rights organizations to carry out
an inspection of penal institutions to support prisoners
and moral support. Improve health care and nutrition.
Rehabilitation of the educational role played by
effective penal institution in the reform,
rehabilitation and reintegration into society. Have
literacy programs and support for schooling and
vocational training inside the outer prison facilities,
and expanding the creative interest and entertainment.
The need to pay some of the inmates, in particular the
status of pregnant women and lactating women, the
treatment commensurate with the doctors necessary,
including the provision of structures to receive them.
Two-and the status of prisoners : Center presents some
cases reached Peshkayat thereon, as follows :-fought
against the backdrop of the events of detainees 16
terrorist Mai Mai during the month 2005 strike is not
limited hunger strike to demand to review their
sentences, and to enable them to exercise all their
rights guaranteed to them under the law. But instead of
the responsible authorities to open a serious dialogue
with these strikers, who numbered over a thousand
different Moroccan prisons, senior officials of the
central prison Quneitra on the implementation of
battered against some of them. Center-record cases of
torture and sexual assault to jail Otaiteh two Sidi
Qasim by some officials and prison guards against
prisoners. The Justice Amrozier opening an investigation
into the matter. The 17-room B district prison Otaiteh
two Sidi Qasim, Khalid Poukré death of the detainee (No.
777 arrests) because of his hunger strike, which had
already signed a statement to engage in a strike, which
negates the communiqué of the Ministry of Justice
talking about the fact that the deceased died because of
chronic illness. The Moroccan student center Human
Rights opened an impartial and specific responsibilities
to see the reality of the death of the detainee in
question. - Center continued with deep concern the
deteriorating health situation of citizen detainee Abdul
Samad bin worshipers Prison inmate Otaiteh 2, which
became a cause for concern and urgent and immediate
intervention to save his life, since he was taken to
hospital after vomiting blood. This is the deterioration
of the health of dust detained because open hunger
strike since 8 replaced in 2005, followed by the strike
waged Benabad water, in order to claim a legitimate
demand is transferred to a prison in Marrakech to pursue
his university studies and end the plight of his family.
- Were deported prisoner Youssef sweets from the central
prison of the village Bamohammad to the civil prison
(appointed collector) ax to pass examinations
university. However, in a place not fit does not have
health requirements. When asked by the prison
administration, Temtiah rights and transported to the
place provided him with less requirements for passing
examinations, which had been brutally beaten and
tortured and hung naked and poured water on it from both
the prison director (Mohamed Yadh) and his deputy
(Mystic), and some staff (Beatitudes) and (Hatem), and
others unaware of their names. - Youssef Ausaleh been
detained in the month of April 2005 the central prison
Hafez beaten, insulted and humiliated in front of the
door to the visit and before the eyes of his family,
until he passed out, and through one of the prison
officials, so then that was what he was subjected to
retaliation for the earlier stated by the Deputy
Solicitor General during his visit to the prison. -
Depriving many of the prisoners of their right to
telemedicine in the study. - Mixing of prisoners
suffering from infectious diseases and rapid transition
with the other prisoners amid rooms. - Prisoners
subjected to sexual assaults without a sergeant and
Ahsib. - Take advantage of the events (children of
prisoners) sexually by prisoners at the instigation of
prison guards, according to findings by the Center of
information from Massadrmuthoukh. Axis IV : Rights of
the Child has become the subject of children's rights
central to the progress and development of societies,
children of today are the permanent balance of the
United Hence, some of the natural bond with their own
world attention, and trying to provide all the necessary
means and capable of ensuring the enjoyment of a secure
calm, adopt many of the rights inherent in the stages of
age and provide legal protection to ensure their
enjoyment of those rights. There has been growing in
recent years, the phenomenon of children who are
suffering from abuse in the family, school and the
street in addition to the sexual assaults, where
monitoring of the Moroccan Center for Human Rights in
2005 more than thirty cases of sexual abuse on children,
including cases relating to child sex tourism cities and
tourist Kamrakesh Agadir and Essaouira and new and other
cities embodied in the control networks composed of
Moroccans and foreigners who exploit children and
filming movies censured. Because of the proliferation of
such phenomena to fundamental factors, including : -
weak mechanisms and means of intervention to assist and
protect children who are victims of abuse at both health
and legal-poor coordination between the parties,
organizations and institutions associated with the
phenomenon, the absence of media policy-designed to
educate families and children, the gravity of the
phenomenon and the need to be disclosed before the
spread of HIV-in the Moroccan criminal legislation,
where the law should be amended the criminal for lifting
of sanctions when it comes to sexual abuse of children.
For reference, the government carried out a series of
actions and measures to promote and protect the rights
of children and the activation of the provisions of the
Convention on the Rights of the Child World, as well as
some of the events of institutions guaranteeing these
rights, but that these actions have been limited and
included categories without the other, so that a large
proportion of children, especially in rural areas, still
deprived of schooling and training, health coverage and
protection against exploitation and physical poverty and
homelessness and neglect. To promote the rights of the
child as required, we have to take the following actions
: - Formation of a national committee composed of
government sectors and associations interested in the
rights of the child to focus on the development of a
long-term strategy aimed at improving the status of
children in Morocco and the promotion of their real and
realistic; - review of the educational policy of raising
the age range and promote the rights of the child among
children, and among all the parties surrounding it; -
aking legislative action against the phenomenon of child
abuse including sexual exploitation, trafficking for
profit and develop a strategy focusing on the
psychological aspects, legal and social information and
to the strengthening and development of medical
protection mechanisms; - a law regarding the protection
and prevention of child victims of the phenomenon of
sexual exploitation; - a law to criminalize child labor
in the homes below Ammarham for 12 years with the
provision of protection for maids and to ensure their
right to schooling, Education and Training, -
development of mechanisms to receive the treatment and
rehabilitation of child victims of abuse at the national
level, media-plans for campaigning and education and
awareness. Education is also a human rights basic
guarantee for the advancement of the rights of the
child, as a set of activities aimed at inculcating a
culture of human rights to the child Kkanaah and
behavior individually and collectively, the founder of
Action for peace and coexistence and cooperation among
individuals and groups. Axis V : women's rights since
2004 has been initiated in the application of the Family
Code, which was the culmination of the demands of
women's movements and human rights. So contributed to
the advancement of the status of women and the family in
society through the elimination of all forms of
discrimination in the right and the adoption of the
principle of equality of rights and duties between men
and women. In spite of all the efforts and legal texts,
which aimed at improving the status of women, a large
number of women in Morocco, particularly those living in
villages and mountainous areas continue to suffer from
difficult social conditions because Alfugrobatalh and
face yet clear handicapped and preventing them from
imposing their presence as partners of men. The women
working in the private contracting suffers from several
problems reminiscent of the Moroccan Center for Human
Rights as follows : wage inequality, especially in the
textile sector and the farming sector despite the fact
that the Labor Code equivalent them initially, women's
expulsion because of pregnancy in some institutions, the
absence of clear provisions especially in the farming
sector, the textile sector and foodstuffs, the
continuing disagreement between the representatives of
workers and employers on breastfeeding hours, the
phenomenon of sexual harassment among workers, where
they are exposed to a large legal text remains pending a
solution to whatever problem at the level of criminal
law, the spread of illiteracy among women and the
absence of training programs and continuing education ..
At the level of economic and social rights of women has
been characterized in 2005 organized attack on those
rights and reflected in : - retreat from free health
services, - increasing unemployment among women,
especially pregnant diplomas and the continued violence
against them when seeking the power of their right to
employment, mass-layoffs and closures, illegal
production enterprises, especially those characterized
by a high proportion of the female labor force, one of
the largest such company files file "Toppoer" the fabric
of Rabat, fabrication "to Aclemontin" new, non-issuance
of the law regulating the work of maids applied to the
fourth article of the Labor Code-increasing cases of
violence toward women also reflect nuke reports centers
supporting women victims of violence, therefore, must
take a series of measures for the advancement of women
is primarily to focus on the social dimension of
development j policy development and investment, in
addition to the following : - development of social
solidarity fund for divorced women, the poor performance
of alimony; - formation and qualify women for their
integration in development - a strategy Court for the
advancement of rural women, where the spread of
illiteracy considerably when women in rural areas and
the absence of necessary medication and treatment; also
expected to raise the status of for reservations on the
International Convention against Discrimination against
Women in the direction of establishing equality between
men and women, with the urgency and take concrete
measures aimed at the advancement of women in the
political, economic and social order out of the scourge
of poverty, ignorance and physical exploitation and harm
their dignity in the administrative institutions,
commercial, industrial or through programs publicity.
Axis VI : economic and social rights that the Moroccan
Center for Human Rights is the defense of economic,
social and cultural heart of the principal concerns and
on the basis of the requirements of the International
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which
Morocco has committed ever since three replaced in 1979.
Most of these requirements are : the right of peoples to
self-determination right to freely dispose of their
natural wealth and resources and the right to respond to
a people be deprived of its own means (article 1), the
right to the enjoyment of all economic, social and
cultural rights without discrimination of any kind and
especially discrimination between men and women
(Articles 2 and 3), the right to employment bitumen
(Article 6), the rights of workers on wage guarantor of
a decent living, health and safety, equal opportunities
for everyone recreation, rest, leisure and holidays
leading them (Article 7), trade union rights, including
the right to strike (Article 8), the right to social
security (Article 9), the right to family protection,
assistance and maternity rights, children and
adolescents (Article 10), the right of everyone to an
adequate standard of living for himself and his family,
including adequate food, clothing and shelter and to the
continuous improvement of living conditions (Article
11), the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the
highest attainable standard of physical and mental
health (Article 12), the right of every individual to
education (Article 13), cultural rights (Article 15).
First : economic rights : protection of public money
from which posed plundering public money from striking
for economic, social and cultural rights enshrined in
international covenants and conventions on human rights
and especially the International Covenant on Economic,
Social and Cultural Rights, all of which affirm the
rights of citizens in their wealth and resources, and
their right to equality in the media The news and access
to the confiscation and participation in public affairs
and control and hatched and the right to hold
accountable all prejudice to the responsibility. As of
the close-to be indivisible call for civil and political
rights on one hand and economic, on the other hand,
which is considered on the basis of robbery of public
money and smuggled or looted prolonged and serious
violation of human rights for the resulting from the
threats of poverty and social misery and the potential
for manipulation of the votes of the citizens and their
choices and their role in the participation in national
public life. Based on the foregoing confirms Moroccan
Center for Human Rights, as it had previously said the
National Authority for the protection of public funds,
that waste and the plundering of public funds is the
heart of the economic crimes that disrupt the balance of
the community and its vitality, which, in addition to
depriving Morocco from the exploitation of its
resources, to the extreme poverty of the broad category
nihilism and to the high illiteracy rate and the low
level of income, and the high unemployment rate,
especially for graduates, these reflections to be the
first victim of the disadvantaged groups of people, and
recall of effects and implications of these crimes,
which came in several reports issued by the official
institutions and international .. - The pace of increase
domestic production of 5.6% of the average rate during
the 1970s, to 2.4% through the end of the 1990s and
beginning of the third millennium. Turning

slipped to 32 of the total 208 state ranked at the
bottom of the pile on the level of income in the world.
- Morocco was ranked 124 among the list of 173 state
according to the report of the United Nations
Development Program, is the same as the salary report in
the last third, which includes the poorest in the world.
- The report Economic Forum which is interested in the
level of progress or decline in the level of
competitiveness, brand Morocco in the back of the
arrangement at 61 within the list of 102 countries. -
And classifies Morocco ranked 78 among 133 nations in
the area of bribery by the Transparanci. - 51.5% of the

social one - the right to housing : is the right to
adequate housing a privileged position within the system
of economic, social and cultural rights, which is one of

the major cities Karabat, Meknes, Casablanca and Agadir.
In spite of this, the authorities have not yet taken
urgent measures to eliminate the final tin especially
large cities, where a large percentage of residents in
these homes are deprived of water and electricity as

Therefore, the ITC considered that the elimination of
the role of tin and the key issue of urgency, should pay
special attention to ensure the dignity of the citizen,
and the criminalization of all practices that help to
spread the squatter. On the other hand, notes that the
social housing programs has not been matched by a clear

necessity of registration in electoral rolls and
depriving some citizens of party affiliation officials
as Customs Department and the Department of Water and
Forests and give important powers of the Ministry of

requirements ... On this basis, the Moroccan Center for
Human Rights confirmed by the need to appropriate law
