Morocco: Health workers plan to protest in Rabat April 21

Event

Health workers plan to demonstrate outside the Directorate of Regulation and Disputes in Rabat from 11:00 April 21 against the alleged unfair dismissal of several employees. Protesters are also demanding that authorities distribute the quarterly grant for workers. Dozens of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Directorate of Regulation and Disputes through the afternoon of April 21. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.

Advice

Avoid the protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area April 21.
