The “Justice and Charity” group said that it received with condemnation the news of the arbitrary arrest of human rights activist Fouad Abdelmoumni, coordinator of the Moroccan Authority for Supporting Political Prisoners – Hmm -, who was placed under theoretical guard in a measure whose vindictive motives are clear.
In a statement, the group’s political department considered the arrest a blatant violation of human rights and depriving Abdelmoumni, the fighter against corruption and tyranny, of his right to expression, targeting his activity and an attempt to silence his voice.
She stressed that the arrest of Abdel-Moumni constitutes further evidence of the dominance of authoritarianism, and of spreading an atmosphere of intimidation by pre-empting defamatory websites that publish the news of his follow-up before it occurs, in a violation that has become commonplace of the confidentiality of procedures and the presumption of innocence.
The General Secretariat of the Political Department of the Justice and Charity Group condemned the attack on freedom of expression in Morocco, demanding the release of Fouad Abdelmoumni, denouncing all the harassment to which free people are exposed, and renewing its demand for the release of all political detainees.
The Crown Prosecutor at the Casablanca Injunctive Court of First Instance announced the opening of a judicial investigation against Fouad Abdelmoumni, the human rights activist and economic expert, on suspicion of committing criminal acts punishable by law, especially reporting an imaginary crime that he knew would not occur and spreading numerous false news.
