Lawyers protest in front of Parliament
The crisis over the draft law regulating the legal profession in Morocco has entered a phase of escalation. Moroccan lawyers organized a nationwide protest sit-in in front of the Parliament in Rabat, protesting against amendments they consider to be harmful to the independence of the profession and the guarantees of legal defense. These protests come after the Justice and Legislation Committee of the House of Advisors approved the new amendments to Draft Law No. 66.23, viewing them as a backtrack from previous agreements with the government. Lawyers have also been boycotting judicial tasks since June 24, with threats of further escalation steps such as a complete work stoppage and office closures if the draft law is not withdrawn or suspended. They reaffirm that their goal is to defend the independence of the profession and to safeguard the rights of litigants, considering the amendments as a complete reversal of prior understandings.
