Morocco’s king dismisses ministers after weeks of protests in Al Hoceima

Rabat - Muslimchronicle
Morocco’s King Mohammed VI has relieved ministers of his cabinet on Tuesday after weeks of mass protests gripped the northern city of Al Hoceima, Al Arabiya's correspondent has reported.
Months of protests roiled northern Morocco earlier this year after anger was sparked by the gruesome death of a fisherman who was crushed to death in a rubbish truck as he tried to retrieve a confiscated catch.
The largely peaceful demonstrations snowballed from grievances over poverty into a major challenge to the authorities in the kingdom.
In response, security forces launched a crackdown, slinging the alleged leaders of the mainly young protesters in jail in May and June.
On Tuesday some 20 other defendants arrested over the protests were also due to appear for their fourth hearing.
In addition, the Casablanca court was expected to hear the case of journalist Hamid El Mahdaoui, who is accused of failing to inform the authorities of an attempt to harm “state security” over the protests.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
