The Honorable head of government of Morocco, |
Please
allow me to express my concern about the detention of journalist Hajar
Raissouni, which is a flagrant breach of her privacy and other human
rights. On 31 August 2019, Raissouni and her fiancé were arrested
outside a doctor’s clinic in Rabat, together with a doctor and two
medical staff members. All five individuals face unfounded abortion
related charges. According to Raissouni’s lawyer there is no evidence
for abortion in the medical report. |
While
in custody, Raissouni was interrogated about her political writings,
one of her colleagues and about her uncle Ahmed Raissouni, a prominent
theologist and the ex-president of the Mouvement de l'Unicité et de la
Réforme. This information raises concerns that Raissouni’s arrest was
politically motivated and related to her journalistic work. |
I
therefore ask you to immediately and unconditionally release Hajar
Raissouni, her fiancé and all three other detainees in the case. I
further call on you to reform laws that violate women’s rights,
including the right to bodily and personal autonomy,
non-discrimination, privacy and health. |
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. |
Yours sincerely, |
|
|
