Union of Moroccan Bloggers

Press Release

Solidarity electronic campaign with the deactivated supreme graduate.

The deactivated supreme graduates and Doctors are living in difficult and embarrassing times, due to the systematic campaigns, fierce interventions and repression towards their protests for Rights to Work, inflicted on them by the Security Services. This continues in spite of the explicit violations of the Graduates constitutional right to demonstrate not to mention against the basic human right to appose aggressive intervention. This has serious consequences, including; miserable humanitarian situations and the injuries inflicted on the demonstrators by these repressive interventions, are becoming terrifyingly more numerous. The most violent example of this, to date, is what happened inside the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. This event saw more than 160 wounded, 60 of whom seriously. This repressive and aggressive intervention resulted in a Doctor of Mathematics suffering a broken jaw, a serious ear injury to another Doctor and any other High Degree holding students suffered broken limbs, fractures and bloody wounds. This was a clear display from the Auxiliary forces, to how they intend to target the heads and up and coming leaders of professions. So harsh became their animalistic barbarism, there were reports of students being raped and horrible blood spilled scenes.
And we, as the Union of Moroccan Bloggers, consider this a confirmation of the counties failure to accurately measure and address Morocco’s unemployment crisis. So bad has this crisis become that even the graduates with the highest merits and grades are seriously affected and can no longer find work placements. However as the country’s approach and reaction to this crisis is to suppress the Right to demonstrate freely, we announce to the national and international opinions, that we are campaigning for solidarity with the other deactivated groups in our country, to denounce the repression and maltreatment by the Security Forces in the streets of RABAT.
Our campaign, which starts Friday 23rd of May and which will last a full week, hopes to highlight the dangerous situation of the growing unemployment rate of the holders of high degrees. We will also demand the government, the First Minister and all concerning sides, to provide an urgently needed intervention and possible solution, to the catastrophic employment rates here in Morocco. We also urge every one to be aware, and responsible, in the fight against corruption and waste of public funds. These largely contribute to the social and employment problems that we are now experiencing in Morocco.
We would like to remind our readers that the Campaign of the Union of Moroccan Bloggers, starts from the bloggers website: http://maghrebblog.maktooblog.com using the slogan “Stop the Blood draining of the Moroccan frames and Cometencies This campaign will include the electronic writings and blogs of Moroccan Bloggers both inside and abroad from Morocco, throughout the campaign week, writing about the suffering and suppression by the government, inflicted on the deactivated holder of High Degrees, in their search for employment. The bloggers and journalists will be able to transfer an image of the reality of this situation to the world. The participants of this campaign will also be able to express their demands, via electronic messages and letters, which will all be sent to the officials considered (First Minister, Minister of the Interior, Minister of Labor and the Minister of Justice) These letters and messages will also be distributed to the various partisan and unions, to the Human Rights organizations and to suitable media bodies, to highlight the miserable social situation.
