Moroccan Islamists quit pro-democracy movement

2011-12-20

Moroccan Islamist group Al Adl Wal Ihsane (Justice and Charity) on Monday (December 19th) suspended involvement in the youth-led February 20 Movement (M20F), Yabiladi reported.

"Some of the youth of the February 20 Movement broadcast ideas and rumors that suffocate the climate within the democratic movement as a whole, putting limits on our demands," Al Adl Wal Ihsane said in a statement. The group said that it still believed in the legitimacy of the democracy movement’s demands.

There has been no official response from M20F about the loss of their former ally.
