The protests, called by the online-based GenZ 212 group whose organizers remain unknown, also called on the kingdom’s premier to resign.

“Our voices will not be silenced,” read a sign held by a protester in Rabat, the Moroccan capital where dozens of people gathered in front of parliament.

Other rallies took place in Agadir, Casablanca and Tangier, according to AFP reporters and local media.

Demonstrators also called for the resignation of Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch, whose tenure ends next year.
