The Justice Center for Human Rights has submitted a memorandum to Morocco’s Interministerial Delegate for Human Rights, calling for a general royal amnesty for political detainees and journalists ahead of the 26th anniversary of King Mohammed VI’s accession to the throne.
The memo, released in 2025, criticizes the limited progress in press freedom, citing ongoing judicial harassment, vague legal provisions, and financial pressure undermining independent media.
It highlights concerns over the use of penal code articles 265 and 126, restrictions on access to information, and the prevalence of self-censorship.
Based on reports, legal reviews, and journalist testimonies, the Center calls for urgent legal reform, transparent trials, and institutional safeguards to align with Morocco’s international commitments.
It also emphasizes the importance of inclusive national dialogue and the implementation of the Equity and Reconciliation Commission’s recommendations.
