According to the parliamentarian, this situation has created a “genuine state of concern” within the community. Expatriates are questioning whether search warrants may have been issued without their knowledge and fear that simply expressing an opinion online could constitute grounds for restricting their freedom.
The elected representative is asking the Interior Ministry to clarify whether proceedings are currently targeting young Moroccans abroad over their publications on digital platforms. She recommends establishing legal safeguards to inform those concerned before their arrival in order to avoid “situations of fear and confusion.”
