The predominating Slavery in Morocco today!

The 2023 Human Rights Report on Morocco provides an overview of the human rights situation in the country during that year.
Here are some key points from the report:

Torture and Cruel Treatment: There were credible reports of torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment by some members of the security forces. This includes allegations of mistreatment of individuals in official custody1.
Freedom of Expression and Media Freedom: Serious restrictions on freedom of expression and media freedom were observed. This included unjustified arrests or prosecutions of journalists, censorship, and enforcement of criminal libel laws to limit expression.
Gender-Based Violence: Extensive gender-based violence, including domestic or intimate partner violence and sexual violence, remained a serious issue.
LGBTQ+ Rights: Crimes involving violence or threats of violence targeting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or intersex persons were reported. Laws criminalizing consensual same-sex sexual conduct between adults were enforced1.
Government Corruption: Serious government corruption persisted, although steps were taken to investigate officials allegedly involved in human rights abuses and acts of corruption1.
Judicial Independence: There were serious problems with the independence of the judiciary.
Freedom of Assembly and Association: Substantial interference with the freedom of peaceful assembly and freedom of association was observed.
Democratic Elections: Citizens faced challenges in changing their government peacefully through free and fair elections.
Western Sahara: Authorities dismissed public complaints of abuse in Western Sahara and relied only on police statements regarding pro-independence protesters1.
