Moroccan communist Aziz Menebhi died on the evening of August 23 at the age of 75 after a long illness. Co-founder of the Marxist-Leninist movement Ila Al-Amam (Forward) and president of the National Union of Moroccan Students at its 15th congress in 1972, he was a pioneer of student protests and the construction of the Moroccan communist movement in the early 1970s. He was arrested and imprisoned several times by the reactionary Moroccan regime where he was tortured. He is also the brother of the martyr Saïda Menebhi, a communist and poet who died at the age of 25 following a hunger strike in Hassan II prisons in 1977.
A political exile in France, he remained until his last breath an implacable activist for the release of political prisoners in Morocco, notably as president of the association Solidarity with the Moroccan People in Nantes, and a fervent defender of the Palestinian cause and of Georges Abdallah. A final tribute will be paid to him on Thursday, August 28, 2025, at 10 a.m., in the ceremonial room of the Château de la Classerie (116 rue de la Classerie in Rezé, France) followed by burial in the Classerie cemetery.
