Cairo, 24th September, 2008
Said the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information today that the Moroccan students have become a target for a cruel suppression that the Moroccan authorities are practicing against them, for criticizing the discriminative educational policy that some of the faculties and universities use against political active students. While Boubkar remains in prison, after he was arrested more than two months ago in Taza city.
Meknes University have expelled four students permanently and three students for temporarily (for three years), and suspended the study of eight students for a year.
These harsh decisions taken by Meknes University against those students who were charged only for expressing their opinions peacefully, where some of them were accused of posting a banner reading “ Saharawi Nation’s Right in Self-Determination”, while others charged for obstructing the main proceeding of the work in the academic institutions.
Taza University continues its conspiracy with Security against the students Jadda Boubkar, who is detained since 21st of July because of his critics to the educational policies, and the police suppression against the students.
“ The practices of these Moroccan universities is considered as a series transform in the universities role, where the Moroccan universities conspires with security apparatuses and repress their students instead of supporting them and their right to express their opinions.” said the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information.
The Moroccan government had used to repress those who criticize its practices, under the so called “War on Terrorism”, establishing extended bridges for the repression against activist students who do not relate to any radical groups, and known only of their secularism and advocacy for their rights to express their opinions, and criticism of the discriminative educational policies disfavoring the students from leftist background.
The Arabic Network required the Moroccan authorities to withdraw its brutal decisions that threatened the future of those students, and to fulfill its commitment in guaranteeing the right to express the opinion that was also provided by the Moroccan constitution.
