Moroccan police quell Temara protest

2011-05-16

At least 10 people were wounded in clashes with Moroccan police on Sunday (May 15th) during a demonstration in Temara, AFP reported. Some 100 activists from the February 20th Youth Movement tried to reach the headquarters of the national intelligence services to protest alleged human rights violations at the site's detention center.

The Moroccan National Press Union (SNPM) denounced the "aggression" used by security forces against journalists covering the Temara rally, MAP reported Sunday. The union called on journalists, politicians and human rights defenders to protest the "repressive behavior" at a sit-in on Thursday.
