Mustafa Ramid

Mustafa Ramid or Mustapha Ramid (born 1959 in Sidi Bennour, Morocco) is a Moroccan politician, and lawyer from the Justice and Development Party. Between 3 January 2012 and 25 March 2017, he had served as Minister of Justice and Liberties in Abdelilah Benkirane's government.

Having served as the defense lawyer for Islamist Hassan al-Kattani, Ramid played an important role in achieving the pardon of Kattani and other Islamists along with promises for the renunciation of violence and extremism.

On July 7, 2015, during an interview on Chada FM radio, he advised homosexuals to change their sex to avoid problems. In September 2017, when questioned by a journalist on the rejection of the UN recommendations relating to the decriminalization of homosexuality by Morocco, he replied: "Enough is enough. Everyone gives importance to this homosexuality and wants to talk about it. These people are rubbish", and attracting the wrath of several Moroccan associations. He persisted a few days later, qualifying homosexuality as "sexual deviance" and affirming that it "remains a crime punished by Moroccan law and is moreover not acceptable by our society".
