“Based on its instructions, the Ministry of Interior has denied the association from being legal”


Press Release

 

Thus came the oral response received by the Association of Moroccan bloggers from the Public Affairs Direction in Rabat state without any explanation of the rationale and reasons behind that administrative decision which is obviously contrary to clear laws and public freedoms and stting up of associations. This would lead to the killing of the the Association and the denial of all its legal documents that would enable it to engage in its activity or appeal, even against this arbitrary decision.

This "reservation" Strangely enough, comes to signal the culmination of years of waiting since the putting of the founding file of the Association of Moroccan bloggers which was the result of procrastination and delay of the Ministry of the Interior in Rabat. It failed firstly to enable the Association of its temporary founding receite standing against the requirements of the law which states that founding receite must be given immediately after the desposition of the founding file. And that temporary founding receite gains provisional status after the period of two months if the Administration has not provided any legal challenge to the legal status of the Association. But the Ministry of the Interior only denies that right without any sound justifications to repudiate all of its legal obligations, preferring the "abortion of associations" which it doesn't approve of. To be mentioned also is that the employee in Wilayat of Rabat who is responsible for the freezing of files of the association in office No. 505 has assaulted President of the Association and physically abused him while attending to his office inquiring about the fate of the file of the Association.

Because of this authoritarian act that is contrary to all principles of freedom of public organisation and slogans such as "the rule of law" we do announce to the public opinion nationally and internationally the follows:

• Renew our call to the Ministry of Interior in order to enable us of our founding receite or a written refusal.

• Our commitment to the right of exercising any civil and mediatic action that is guaranteed by all the national and international laws.

• Our perseverence to continue our struggle to establish freedom of expression and creativity through the press using all legitimate ways and means to achieve our inalienable rights without concessions.

• Our invitation to all national and international corporations to show more heed to the issue of restricting the associative work and civil society.

•Our solidarity with all bloggers, journalists and Internet activists exposed to harassment renewing our call for the immediate release of their prisoners among them: the blogger Boubken Alyadib, manager of Internet Abdullah Boukfou.

 

The President:

Mr Said Benjebli
