Lawyers in Casablanca have joined a nationwide strike initiated by the Moroccan Association of Bar Associations, effectively halting court proceedings starting Wednesday. This action expands a protest that began Tuesday at the Casablanca Court of Appeal, initially impacting only appellate courts but now extending to primary civil courts. The indefinite strike aims to pressure authorities regarding unspecified demands from the legal profession. The Casablanca bar association’s participation significantly exacerbates the disruption to the judicial system in Morocco’s largest city. This follows previous protests and demonstrations by lawyers across the country. The strike’s duration remains uncertain as negotiations have not yet commenced, according to reports. Further details regarding the specific grievances driving the strike are expected to emerge as the protest continues.
