Jerada protests

On 2 April 2018, during a meeting at the Commission for the Interior, Local Authorities, Housing and Urban Policy in the House of Representatives and in the context of the 2017–2018 Moroccan protests, Laftit accused a number of organizations, including the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH), the Democratic Way and the Islamist association Al Adl Wa Al Ihssane, of calling for demonstrations "in a vain attempt to blackmail the state" and serving the "interests of media outlets hostile to the Kingdom".[5] In response, the Moroccan Coalition of Human Rights Bodies said that Laftit intended to "reinforce censorship" and demanded an apology from him.[6]
