The sumptuous wedding organized by the President of the House of Councilors, Naam Miyara, for his daughter, raises heated controversies. Morocco’s fourth political figure after the king, the head of government, and the speaker of the House of Representatives is accused of slavery.
Is Naam Miyara a supporter of slavery? He faces accusations of slavery after a video of his daughter’s wedding celebration was posted on social media. In its press release, the Federation of Women’s Rights League (FLDF) said it had “followed with great dismay the video widely distributed on social networks and certain media, where “slaves” were offered to the daughter of the President of the House advisors during his marriage. She strongly condemns this act, which she describes as monstrous if it proves right. This act “takes Morocco, which recently appointed a president to the Human Rights Council (Omar Zniber, Editor’s note), back to the era of slavery and discrimination”, and represents “an insult to human values and a flagrant violation of the principles of human rights, the country’s constitution and all international conventions ratified by Morocco,” denounces the federation.
The FLDF calls for strong opposition to all remaining discriminatory practices that violate human rights and seek to reproduce slave-master relationships. It also demands the opening of a rapid and impartial investigation, and the taking of immediate measures against those involved in this crime. “This crime harms the image of Morocco, both nationally and internationally, and goes against the significant progress made by Morocco and the great advances made in the field of human rights, and is in contradiction with the path towards modernity and progress to which the country aspires,” it is noted.
