The lawsuit/punishment, which has surprised the court , and even the defence the accused young students , is of course against the amazigh militants. These sentences make the following of the events which have shaken the Moroccan universities and which took place during April and May of the year 2007. The arrests of the amazigh/Berber people in Bumal N Dades, Agadir, Imteghern, Errachidya ,Sidi Ifni or in Meknes confirm the Moroccan authorities’s approach to the amazigh /Berber cause.

Amazigh democratic party (PDAM) wrote to the president of the European Parliament, Mr. Hans-Gert POTTENG, about human rights violation in Morocco :
 The European Union is linked to Morocco by an "Association Agreement" which entered into force since 1-st March 2000.
Morocco has also been part of the first countries from the Mediterranean to sign an action plan neighbourhood with the European Union since 2004, following the process of Euro-Mediterranean partnership launched in Barcelona in 1995.
This association agreement between the European Union and Morocco's main objectives are the effective promotion of democracy and respect for human rights. Thus, Article No. 2 of said agreement clearly stipulates that: "Respect for democratic principles and fundamental rights of man, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, inspires the domestic and international policies of community and Morocco and is an essential element of this agreement."

Moroccan authorities continue to reject the use of Amazigh names on official documents :
 Moroccan citizens face a refusal by the authorities to register their Amazigh names on official documents, numerous cases show. Names including Bahac, Damya, Diyia, Mayssa, Guraya, Yuba, Ijja, Aderfy, Amzin, Idir, Massinissa, Tihia, Tinass, Taynust, Sifaw, Massin and others appear to be categorically banned from entry into the register of births, marriages and deaths. Interior Minister Chakib Benmoussa has rejected allegations of discrimination, saying that in the High Commission for Civil Status, the body in charge of approving or rejecting name choices, "there is no restriction on the choice of names, nor is there a list to restrict public freedom on this matter".
