A religious minorities meeting boycotted by Moroccan Christians

Once again, religious minorities in Morocco are making their voices heard. On Sunday, 25th of March, they organized a consultation meeting in Rabat to set up a legal framework for their situation.

An objective that faces several obstacles. Yesterday, representatives of Moroccans converted to Christianity and Ahmadis refused at the last minute attending the meeting. Jaouad Hamidi, coordinator of the Moroccan Committee for Religious Minorities, pointed out that they were «pressured by the authorities».

Despite the absences, Hamidi is looking forward to holding a new congress for his movement. Religious minorities in Morocco met for the first time on the 18th of November in Rabat. The conference, for the record, was boycotted at the time by the National Coordination of Moroccan-Christian.
