The peaceful and festive day of demonstrations across Morocco for calling for democratic reforms led to breaking into riots in several towns that marred the claims and cast doubt on the future of the protests. A youth group was asked to call through the Facebook network concentrations asking for a new constitution that limits the executive branch of King Mohamed VI.
In the call, called the Day of Dignity, joined human rights organizations, leftist parties and, above all, the Islamist Justice and Charity Movement, who demonstrated his power to call in the biggest protest in Rabat with about 10 thousand people. But pacifism was diluted, as they began to emerge acts of vandalism and violence that targeted police stations, banks, catering establishments or government facilities.
In the town of Al Hoceima, demonstrators threw stones at a police station and set fire to two police vehicles. Sources of the Moroccan Association for Human Rights added that they were also attacked the headquarters of the ruling party Istiqlal, the City and the sub-prefecture of the city.
The Movement February 20, said in a statement the riots and accused the Moroccan government of being behind some of these actions. "There have been acts of violence promoted by the Government, which has paid people to carry them out."
