  • I think this topic deserves its own article. It certainly makes it easier to reference human rights by country as a topic unto itself. This is also consistant with other human rights related articles. Rklawton 05:35, 17 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • I disagree with a merge too. This article can be expanded. And the Morocco article doesn't need this as a section. Wikipedia:WikiProject_Countries has set up guidelines for the structure of country articles and these guidelines do not include a human rights section.

  • I agree with both of you, its an interesting subject which should have its own article (especially since there is a similar one on Western Sahara). Ideally, I think every country and territory should have a human rights entry. (I took the liberty to edit the post above.) Arre 06:25, 17 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

These are some of the remarks I had on the article:

  • Judging that Morocco is undemocratic is not clear and is anyway not a matter of human rights. Human rights can be abused in the most democratic countries.
  • Mixing social problems with human rights issues: child labor, violence against women and human trafficking don't fall in the category of abuses

commited by the state against its citizens, and are not occuring in Morocco more than any other African country.

  • The attacks in Casablanca are terrorism and not to be linked to any religion. The majority of the victims were Muslims.
  • The Equity and Reconciliation Commission did not protect nor allowed anyone to continue in office. Its mission was not to mention the names of individuals, because the outrages were commited by the state, and letting the guilt on individuals will excempt the state of it.
  • Most of the "Years of Lead" fall in the sixties and the seventies and to a lesser degree the eighties.
  • Are considered victims even the putshists that spent more time in jail than their sentences. They were the majority of Tazmamart detention centre.
  • Most of the abuses attributed to the reign of King Mohammed V, are related to the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on Casablanca.
  • Independent press (Le Journal Hebdomadaire, Assahifa, TelQuel, AlJarida Alokhra, ...) do debate many of the things mentionned in the article as prohibited, such as restricting the powers of the King, the reform of the monarchy, the official approach of The Sahara problem, and the role of political Islam in politics. --SteveLo 20:49, 30 June 2006 (UTC)Reply


Youtube

Youtube was blocked for a couple of days by one of the three operators of the country. The state does not own Meditel, but is actionary in it as Vivendi is. During the three days of block, Moroccans have all the time been able to access Youtube through the other operators. So, firstly, there is no proof that the governement of Morocco was behind the block. Secondly, how can the state of Morocco block a site through one operator knowing that people will still access it through the other operators as if there were no block. People can in these situations jump to different conspiracy theories, but this is an encyclopedia based on facts, not on "jumps".--A Jalil 08:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Thanks Jalil for this.
  • This is also just a non-event frankly.

Western Sahara

Morocco's conduct in the western sahara is widely regarded as a major moroccan human rights issue. This surely deserves more than a simple 'see also' in the end of the article. i've added this to the lead. 132.66.52.149 (talk) 13:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Persecution of Shi'a Muslims

Morocco has recently cut diplomatic relations with Iran, and there have been many rumours that Shi'a Muslims in Morocco cannot practice their religion openly anymore. Can anyone throw some light upon this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.149.21.152 (talk) 07:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Persecution based of sex

edit
Latest comment: 9 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I updated a couple of sections with some new info but I noticed the lack of a section about the persecution of LGBT people and people practicing sex before marriage (cops asking randomly for marriage contracts...). We could add something about the protection of raped women (forced marriage, not punishable by the law). Xerxes (contact) 22:31, 23 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
For further reference (2015): there has been a new law which decriminalized abortion in the case of rape; excess of zeal from cops during the month of Ramadan; Homosexuals thrown into prison; etc. Xerxes (contact) 22:35, 23 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Social Rights and Equality: Children

edit
Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In Morocco, thousands of children—predominantly girls and some as young as eight—work illegally in private homes as domestic workers, where they often encounter physical and verbal violence, isolation, and seven-day-a-week labor that begins at dawn and continues until late at night. They are poorly paid and almost none attend school. Domestic workers, including children, are excluded from Morocco’s Labor Code, and as a result do not enjoy the rights afforded to other workers, including a minimum wage or limit to their hours of work.

But under Moroccan family law (2004 mudawana) and Constitution (2012), it is illegal to have minor domestic workers.[15][16]

The way this is written prompts the question of whether or not children continue to be employed as domestic workers, despite the revision of Moroccan family law and Morocco's Constitution. It would be helpful either to rewrite this section to avoid this confusion or to answer the question raised by the section: Are children still being exploited as domestic workers?
