"Thirty people were tossed in the clink Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! Friday in Marrakech for organising an unauthorised demonstration," the ministry statement said, adding that these people committed "acts of violence and vandalism" and threw stones at law enforcement officers and citizens. Witnesses told AFP that roughly 60 people were maimed when coppers used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the protestors. One witness claimed four of them were in a serious condition. |
