Gibraltar marks 40 years of discrimination against its Moroccan community: "In a small corner of what was the British Empire, 1,200 Moroccans continue to experience 40 years of multi-layered discrimination at the hands of the Gibraltarian authorities.
The Moroccans, who were invited to Gibraltar to boost the workforce when Spanish dictator Franco closed the border in 1969, continue to be denied such basic human rights as the right to vote and access to affordable public housing.
This is because very few Moroccans have been successful in gaining citizenship rights because of the adoption of an unclear and arbitrary immigration policy by the Gibraltarian government, according to Unite, the largest union in the self-governing territory.
Unite, which is revitalising its campaign for equality of treatment for the Moroccan and other non-dom workers in Gibraltar, has pinpointed five areas of discrimination."
