While more stable than its neighbouring countries, Morocco has regressed in terms of freedoms and democratisation standards in recent years. High levels of unemployment and corruption remain pressing issues. Despite some progress in areas such as reform of the justice system and women’s rights, conditions for the human rights movement continue to deteriorate in the face of a resilient deep state.
