Moroccan lawyers have extended their indefinite strike until further notice, protesting against the justice reform proposed by Minister Abdellatif Ouahbi. The strike, which began in early June 2026, has paralyzed court proceedings across the country.
The lawyers' unions demand the complete withdrawal of the reform, which they argue undermines judicial independence and professional guarantees. Negotiations with the Ministry of Justice have so far failed to reach a compromise.
As of June 23, 2026, no official statement from Minister Ouahbi has been issued regarding the strike's impact or potential concessions. The situation remains tense, with lawyers vowing to continue until their demands are met.
