Morocco Politics | Human rights | Society | Media IFJ condemns seizure of magazines in Morocco afrol News, 5 August - The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) has strongly condemned the order issued last Saturday by the Minister of the Interior in Morocco to seize and destroy over 100,000 copies of two weeklies, TelQuel and Nichane magazines, which carried results of an opinion poll on King Mohammed VI's decade on the throne.According to the Syndicat National de la Presse Marocaine (SNPM), an IFJ affiliate, the order was implemented while the magazines were in press. The ministry alleges that the publishers, the TelQuel group, contravened current legislation by publishing, in partnership with the French daily Le Monde, the results of an opinion poll assessing the last ten years of government since King Mohamed VI came to power.
