The National Human Rights Council (CNDH) stressed, Saturday, the importance of law enforcement in connection with the principles of necessity and proportionality during the dispersal of proposals, while insisting on the protection of public freedoms and the right of peaceful demonstration.

In a statement on the protests of contract teachers, the council commended the statement of the prosecutor at the Rabat first instance Court announcing the opening of an investigation into “a person in civil clothes who used violence during the dispersion of a rally on the street”.

In this regard, he called on the competent prosecutor’s office to broaden the circle of investigations to include the facts mentioned or disseminated through the various media, while working to publish the results of search.

The CNDH recalled in the same context its recommendation contained in its 2019 annual report and many of its thematic reports that the use of force should be subject to the control of the public prosecutor.

“The National Human Rights Council, on the basis of the prerogatives conferred on it by Law No. 76.15 on its reorganization and in addition to the role of monitoring the matter of contractual teachers, has established a group to monitor this protest movement through its regional commission of Rabat-Sale-Kenitra after the announcement by the national Coordination of a series of sit-ins coinciding with the school vacations from 14 to 21 March, “concluded the statement.
