Khadija Ryadi.
Khadija Ryadi President of the AMDH - Under the theme 'The role of the freedoms and human rights movement in Morocco' said that the roundtable was an opportunity for AMDH to send a call for the abolition of Article 490 of the Moroccan Penal Code, criminalizing sexual relations between adult men and women who are not bound by the bond of marriage.
Khadija Ryadi, President of the AMDH, reported by the site Pure Player Moroccan Arab, argued at the meeting for a mobilisation of "democratic forces for a continuing struggle until the secularisation of the state and the establishment of an enlargement of individual freedoms in Morocco, "stressing that" sexual freedom, faith, abortion, eating in public during Ramadan or the right to freely dispose of one's body form the bulk of the claims of the revolutionary Moroccan youth. "
For his part Moroccan sociologist Abdessamad Dialmy present at the roundtable called for what we consider sex between two consenting adults outside marriage as a crime "this should be, instead, a freedom guaranteed by the law, "he pleaded, denouncing the way the double language of the state which he believes should contain principles of law since it violates itself by deriving its legitimacy from religion.
Reacting to these statements, Islamist leader and member of the PJD Abouzaid Mokrie El El Idrissi lambasted the initiators of this call as "secular media aping the West in its most degrading practices."
For Abouzaid, "the West suffers of the decay of moral values and family which in no case serve as a model for our society" calling "to return to Islamic values such as adopted by the Moroccans for centuries."
Mohamed Hilali, vice chairman of the reform movement and uniqueness WALL, parent organisation of the PJD, treated those who called for sexual freedom as "vestiges of despotism and corruption" for him, they objectify their claim to bring Islamists to power in "a counterproductive debate shuns the true vocation for which they were elected by the people, namely clean government and fight against corruption and absolutism."
