Activists to protest outside Court of Appeal in Casablanca, Morocco, Aug. 31. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Event
Activists plan to protest outside the Court of Appeal in Casablanca from 10:00 Aug. 31. The action has been called in support of political detainees, in particular, Saida Alami, who was sentenced to two years in prison for allegedly insulting public officials. Dozens to hundreds of people could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the Court of Appeal the morning of Aug. 31. 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 Aug. 31.
