To Dutch MEP Kati Piri, addressing the Hirak issue is no more a domestic affair that concerns only Morocco. The politician believes her interest in the Hirak issue is a way of listening to the concerns of her fellow Dutch citizens of Moroccan descent.
After he was brought before the prosecutor earlier on Thursday, Moroccan journalist Omar Radi is charged with «offending a judge». The alleged offence is related to a tweet he published earlier this year, referring to a Hirak judge.
Since February 22, Morocco has observed silence regarding the Algerian Hirak. That position was formalized on March 16. However, this «non-interference» in the domestic affairs of the eastern neighbor was not always the policy followed by Rabat.
