Youth-led protests demanding reforms to public healthcare and education took place on Friday in several Moroccan cities for a seventh day in a row, AFP and local media reported.
The protests, called by the online-based GenZ 212 group whose organisers remain unknown, also called on the kingdom’s premier to resign.
“Our voices will not be silenced,” read a sign held by a protester in Rabat, the Moroccan capital where dozens of people gathered in front of parliament.
Other rallies took place in Agadir, Casablanca, and Tangier, according to AFP reporters and local media.
On Wednesday night, two people were killed and others injured in Lqliaa, near Agadir, when security forces used firearms, marking a deadly turn in the anti-government protests.
While Morocco has seen recurring protests over economic and social grievances, this week’s unrest is considered the most violent.
