"Mémoire Collective" (Collective Memory)  is a recently-created organization whose mission is to fight hatred, intolerance, violence, racism, antisemitism, and islamist fundamentalism.

The organization´s board of directors made a public announcement at the beginning of the year about the start of their activities in line with the principles previously described. This provoked a reaction from two Islamist organizations:

·         Al Badil Al Hadari. A Political party banned in Morocco after some of its members were found to be allegedly linked with international terrorist networks. The armed wing of this group planned to assassinate members of the government, the armed forces, and Jewish citizens according to the Ministry of the Interior, who also confirmed that they made contact with al Qaeda in Afghanistan in 2001 and participated in Hezbollah training camps in Lebanon in 2005.

Members of this organization posted death threats on the Internet against members of Collective Memory´s board of directors and their families. They are, without a doubt,  real threats, given the profile of those who issue them.

·         Justice and Development. A Political party with Islamist leanings has published strong criticisms of Mohamed Mouha (the Collective Memory representative) . In its newspaper it calls for him to be attacked physically, accusing him of being a Zionist agent, and making other charges against him that would fit the definition of anti-Semitism by the European Agency of Fundamental Rights.

The situation has generated great unease and fear for the safety of our colleagues in Collective Memory and their families, as the government of Morocco has not provided any protective measure of protection, nor publicly defended the liberty of its citizens to exercise their right to free association and opinion.

Therefore, we request that you all offer your support to the Solidarity Campaign with Collective Memory, consisting of:

• Signing a communiqué of support
• Sending faxes and e-mails to the Moroccan Embassy in Spain, the Ministry of the Interior of Morocco, and the advisor to the Royal House, whose addresses and fax numbers we attach.
