Morocco's constitutional court finds sections of press council law violate constitution

Morocco’s Constitutional Court has struck down key parts of a new law meant to reorganize the National Press Council, ruling that several provisions violate the Constitution and must be changed before the law can take effect. In Decision No. 261/26 (case file 309/26), issued on January 22, the court said five provisions are unconstitutional, but that other contested articles do not violate the Constitution.
