This decision allows the defendants to prepare their defense and review the state’s civil claims memorandum, leading to the adjournment of the session until November 20.
Aziz Rouibah, president of the Rabat Bar Association, explained to Hespress AR that the postponement was made at their request to ensure adequate preparation time.
A representative from the National Committee for Medical and Pharmacy Students confirmed that the defendants intend to use this period to build a strong defense, maintaining confidence in the independence of the judiciary and the skills of their volunteer lawyers.
Over 30 lawyers attended the session, including deans from several universities, while many students and supporters traveled from across Morocco, believing the trial impacts all medical and pharmacy students.
Concerns have also been raised about the boycott percentages reported by the Minister of Higher Education, which students claim do not accurately reflect their situation.
They assert that the boycott rate exceeds 90 percent based on thorough surveys conducted within their student bodies.
Regarding ongoing mediation efforts, the students have yet to receive a concrete government proposal addressing key issues, including the training period duration, disciplinary actions against representatives, the dissolution of student offices, and the scheduling of remedial exams.
