Morocco: Junior lawyers holding sit-in outside Parliament in Rabat Nov. 2-4

Event

The Federation of Young Lawyers Association is holding a sit-in outside the country's Parliament in Rabat from Nov. 2-4. The action is in response to the recent enactment of increased taxes.

Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near Parliament for the duration of the sit-in. 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 Nov. 2-4.
