Moroccan Bar Leaders Denounce Attacks, Call for Unity and Strategic Action
Former presidents of the Moroccan Bar Association have publicly condemned recent attacks against the organization and its members, calling for unity and strategic action to safeguard the legal profession.
In a statement released following a meeting, the former presidents expressed their deep concern over what they described as a deliberate campaign to undermine the Bar Association and its members. They cited unfounded accusations, inappropriate language, and media attacks as evidence of this concerning trend.
The former presidents emphasized that resorting to such tactics to discredit professional institutions and incite public opinion against lawyers is unacceptable and detrimental to the relationship between the Bar Association and government entities, particularly the Ministry of Justice.
The statement highlighted the unwavering commitment of Moroccan lawyers to upholding justice and defending the rights of their clients. This dedication to their professional duty, they argued, is the most powerful response to those seeking to divide the legal community.
The former presidents called upon current Bar Association leaders to leverage their experience and strategic thinking to navigate the challenges ahead. They stressed the importance of prioritizing the strengthening and protection of the legal profession, ensuring the future of lawyers and their practices, and safeguarding the rights and interests of their clients.
This call to action emphasizes the need for a unified front to protect the integrity of the legal profession in Morocco. It underscores the vital role lawyers play in upholding justice and advocating for the rights of all citizens.
