The movement said in a statement, published on Monday on its Facebook page that the page was hacked and members and founders of the movement received death threats via e-mail.
"We do not need a licence to live freely. We live as we want, according to the guidelines of our country. No demonstrations are needed but to condemn the assault on a girl in Rabat. The constitution guarantees our freedom; no terrorist can take it away from us. If they were able to hack our group on Facebook, and threaten us through emails, they are certainly too afraid to take real action, so live with your hypocrisy in computers, and we will taste our freedom in reality,” said the statement.
According to a member of the movement, the aim of organising the demonstrations was to open dialogue within society in a free atmosphere. The movement plans to organise a seminar or a forum to discuss individual liberties.
The member the movement emerged aiming at peaceful coexistence between citizens whatever their convictions are, and try discourage everyone, especially women, from extremist ideologies, hatred, gender inequality, and the targeting of individual liberties.
The movement had said initially that the protest was in solidarity with a girl who was brutally attacked a few months by a group of people who considered wearing "Débardeur " a breach of  religious regulations and stripped her clothes off to punish her.
