The Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH) has unveiled a preliminary report on the GenZ protests, revealing the detention of over 2,000 individuals across several cities. The association has called for independent investigations into these actions, holding the state accountable for alleged abuses and urging respect for freedoms guaranteed by national and international laws.
Former MP Omar Balafrej has reemerged as an unexpected voice of Morocco’s Gen Z 212 movement, drawing thousands of young listeners after years of political silence. In his first public appearance since the protests began, he praised the youth for daring to demand change, urged a reordering of national priorities, and called for reconciliation and renewed political accountability.
