Lawyers Seek Prosecutor Protection Next Tuesday
The article concerns the ongoing lawyers' strike in Morocco in protest against the provisions of the new law regulating the legal profession, which came into effect at the end of August 2026. While the Association of Bar Associations announced the continuation of a complete halt to providing professional services, hostile acts within the courts have increased, including protests and assaults on lawyers. This raises questions about respecting the freedom to practice the profession and ensuring the proper functioning of justice. The law explicitly prohibits complete stoppages of legal assistance and the raising of slogans inside the courts, placing the situation in a sensitive state as full judicial activity is about to resume. Calls are being made to guarantee lawyers' right to practice their profession freely and safely, with the responsibility falling on relevant authorities to protect both lawyers and litigants, in order to uphold the course of justice and respect the law.
