Morocco: Activists plan to protest outside Court of Appeal in Casablanca July 1
Activists to protest outside Court of Appeal in Casablanca, Morocco, July 1. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to protest outside the Court of Appeal in Casablanca from 18:30 July 1. Protesters are showing solidarity with political prisoner Abdul Rahman Zankad, who received a five-year jail sentence for criticizing Morocco's decision to normalize relations with Israel in 2020. Dozens to a hundred individuals could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Court of Appeal the evening of July 1. Clashes between police and protesters are possible, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
Avoid the protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area July 1.
