Fighting for Basic Rights in Morocco

Jose Colon

While the world focuses elsewhere, Morocco is being roiled by protests, the biggest since the Arab Spring of 2011. For weeks, tens of thousands of people from around that country have been marching through Al Hoceima, a city on the Mediterranean coast in the northern Rif region, against injustice and corruption. Elsewhere, solidarity marches are springing up like brush fires. The police, enforcing a ban on protests, are using roadblocks, tear gas and truncheons to fight crowds. More than 200 people have been arrested, among them leaders of a grass-roots reform movement. Journalists, too.
