55 organizations and associations in Mauritania released a statement calling on authorities to reopen Quranic institutes and schools in the country.
According to reports, they asked related officials to expedite measures to open the Quranic institutes that have been shut down recently under the pretext of fighting extremism or lack of permits.
They also called on Quranic centers in the country to obey the regulations and obtain necessary permissions.
In December last year, several rallies were held in different parts of Mauritania, including the southeastern city of Mauritania, in protest at the government’s move to shut down Quranic institutes and kindergartens.
