Hi everybody.
Today many Imazighen have met..
form different regions of Morocco
from Souss, in the east or South-west
and from other regions
to pay a visit to Amellagou
as a way to express our support
to Amazigh political prisoners and their families
Today we visit Hamid ADOUCH
Tomorrow, we visit Mustapha OUSSAIA's family
We thank all the people who came today
for their help and support
We are going now to Amellagou
Thank you.
We are now at Amellagou
ADOUCH's village
We are going to ask someone to show us his house
We came here to morally support his family
To show that; if an Amazigh activist is imprisoned, Thousands of..
Imazighen are still and will fight for freedom
Everybody says that my son is innocent
My son didn't commit no crime
There's no proof for accusing my son
OUSSAIA too, didn't commit any crime
But the authorities don't want to listen to the truth
Tell me my sons; do you know when will they release him?
- don't worry..
- There will be good news in the future
- I hope so.
- We are still fighting for his freedom..
.. the important thing is; we should not give-up
..We should never forget him
I come precisely to see the families of political detainees
to be at their side in this difficult moments
that authorities have created
I tell the families that we are with them
If an activist is imprisoned from South-east or Souss or Rif..
Imazighen are one Body; we are all together.
This is a political trial!
They judge people based on their ideas not on what they did.
The story that authorities had invented started..
when a student from the Marxist wing was killed..
The police went at the same moment to a house where..
Amazigh students live and they arrested them.
Most Amazigh activist students are disciplined university students
They go to university to study and build a good career.
Authorities always try to create conflict between students..
..as a way to have control over them..
..so they invented an excuse to arrest Amazigh students..
.. from different universities in Morocco..
because at that year (2007) the Amazigh Cultural Movement was very active
and made many demonstrations in all over Morocco
especially in places with higher Amazigh people density.
Anyway, authorities arrested our students and sent them to jail
without any evidence to prove their accusations
The court sentenced ADOUCH for 10 years
After a long process and lot of trials
Police brought fake testimonials to force court decisions
Our lawyers proved the fakeness of those testimonials
over and over again
I attended every sentence and in all of them, the court, never..
gave a strong evidence that accuse ADOUCH and OUSSAIA of the ***
however the authorities did what they wanted
Our lawyers wanted to boycott the trials
claiming they are politically motivated and unfair.
No matter what we say and prove, judges make what they are ordered to.
Moroccan justice system is not independent
Justice belongs to authorities
it follows the authorities ideology
It is a puppet in their hands.
