Gen Z demonstrators demand release of protesters

YOUNG Moroccans protested at the weekend in front of parliament to demand the release of demonstrators arrested in recent weeks as part of Morocco’s Gen Z movement seeking reforms to social services.

The movement, which had taken the usually stable kingdom by surprise in late September, appeared to be losing momentum as fewer demonstrators have taken to the street.

Some 600 people, including minors, are currently detained pending trial on suspicion of joining the movement, said the Moroccan Association for Human Rights.

“Detainees, stay strong, we'll keep fighting,’ demonstrators chanted.
