Morocco: Activists plan to protest outside Court of Appeal in Rabat Oct. 11
Activists plan to protest outside Court of Appeal in Rabat, Morocco, Oct. 11. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Event
Activists plan to gather outside the Court of Appeal in Rabat from 12:00 Oct. 11 to call for the release of Imam Said Abou Aleen. Authorities arrested Aleen in August for protesting outside the residence of Minister of Religious Endowments and Islamic Affairs Ahmed Toufiq. Dozens of individuals could attend the demonstration.
Authorities will almost certainly increase security to monitor the protest. Localized transport disruptions are likely near the Court of Appeal the afternoon of Oct. 11. Clashes between police and protesters remain possible, 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 to reach destinations near the affected area Oct. 11.
