Morocco: Freedom of conscience won't exist in the "new" Constitution
The new constitution “supports the human rights in all aspects, including a fair trial, no torture, no detention, no disappearance, and we need to guarantee the freedom of expression,” he said. The new constitution will also guarantee “freedom of religious worship.”
Yeah, but no freedom of conscience, because as, Benkirane, the leader of the main opposition party (Islamist "Justice and Development Party") says:“Morocco is a Muslim country whose state religion is Islam, and do not touch these fundamental principles. In Morocco, the freedom of worship is now guaranteed to Christians, Jews …, but not the freedom of conscience. A Muslim can not change his religion or even leave his practice in public, as happened last year when a handful of young men wanted to break the fast in a park in Mohammedia".
So, basically, in this respect, nothing would change.
