Morocco: Activists plan to protest outside Parliament in Rabat May 10

Event

Activists plan to demonstrate outside Parliament in Rabat from 11:00 May 10. Protesters are demanding that authorities investigate the disappearance of individuals who had attempted to illegally migrate to Europe. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near Parliament through the afternoon of May 10. 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 May 10.
