Morocco: Pro-Palestinian activists plan to protest in Rabat May 21

Event

Activists plan to demonstrate outside Parliament in Rabat from 18:00 May 21 to show support for Palestinians and protest the normalization of relations between Morocco and Israel. Dozens to hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.

Authorities will likely increase security to monitor the event. Large numbers of protesters will likely cause localized transport disruptions near Parliament through late May 21. Clashes are possible 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 21.
