A number of «Hirak» activists and citizens are set to participate to a march scheduled a week ago on the 20th of July 2017. Banned by the local authorities, security forces and locals in the city of Al Hoceima are getting ready.
To prevent the occurrence of another scenario similar to the Hirak movement in the Rif region, El Othmani’s government is set to visit a number of regions in order to evaluate the implementation of developmental projects. Béni-Mellal and the three regions of the Sahara will be the first parts to benefit from this operation.
Responding to the brutal repression of the demonstration organized by women on Saturday to call for the release of the Hirak detainees, Human Rights Watch has brought its own version relying on activists’ accounts. The organization, in an article published today denounced the police’s use of force while dispersing protesters.
