Morocco's February 20 Movement, which spearheaded demonstrations across the kingdom, organized new protests on Sunday (September 18th), AP reported. At least 3,000 people marched in Casablanca and another 2,000 people demonstrated in Tangier to denounce government corruption.

Reforms proposed by King Mohammed VI were approved in the July 1st constitutional referendum, but protestors say the measures offer little change. Morocco's parliamentary elections are slated for November 25th.
