Casablanca Prisoners: 9 Years On (A Fund & Awareness Raising Dinner)

09 May

On 16 May 2003, a series of suicide bombings shook Casablanca, being the deadliest attacks in Morocco’s history, and widely believed to be a false flag operation by the Moroccan security agencies. As ‘a response’, the authorities adopted a new anti-terrorist legislation and arrested thousands of people, systematically subjected to enforced disappearance, torture, arbitrary detention and unfair trial. Nine years on, Morocco appears to have been a key country in the War on Terror, selected by the US to be part of the CIA rendition program. Likewise, it has emerged that several European countries have been implicated in the unfair treatment of individuals detained in Morocco under the banner of War on Terror.

Cageprisoners and Justice Morocco would like to invite you to join us for a three course dinner and to discuss the plight of the Moroccan political detainees and reflect over the role played by Morocco in the Global War on Terror. This event will adhere to Islamic etiquette and will have separate seating for men and women. The cost of entry is £10.00 and tickets can be acquired in advanced via the methods listed bellow. General inquiries regarding this event can be addressed at the following number: 0207 377 6700
