Morocco: Activists plan to protest outside Parliament in Rabat Feb. 1
Activists plan to protest outside Parliament in Rabat, Morocco, Feb. 1. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Event
Activists plan to demonstrate outside Parliament in Rabat from 17:30 Feb. 1 to show solidarity with the Palestinian people and denounce Morocco's normalization of relations with Israel. The action comes after Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians during a security operation in Jenin Jan. 26. Hundreds of individuals could attend the event.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near Parliament the evening of Feb. 1. 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 Feb. 1.
