The Association of Bar Associations of Morocco has decided to extend the lawyers’ strike until 8 October 2026. The strike began more than three months ago. The decision was taken on Sunday 20 September in Rabat by the association’s executive committee, which assessed the mobilisation and set the movement’s next stage, according to Moroccan media outlet Aujourd’hui 24.
The lawyers oppose several provisions of the law governing their profession, which recently came into force. The continuation of the strike comes just days before the opening of the autumn parliamentary session and continues to disrupt the functioning of some courts, notably in Fez.
