In Morocco’s provincial town of Souk Sebt, local authorities moved on Friday to block a demonstration called for September 28 by a coalition of unions, leftist parties, and rights groups.
The ban, signed by the town’s pasha, invoked provisions of the 2015 communal organization law and the 1958 public assembly decree, framing the planned rally as a legal violation that risked disturbing public order.
Officials pointed to the absence of formal notification procedures and cited recommendations from the local security committee, which convened a day earlier.
Organizers, including the Democratic Confederation of Labor and the Moroccan Association for Human Rights, had urged residents to gather near the municipal council to demand better health services and social dignity.
They portrayed the action as a civic duty in a town where the understaffed local hospital symbolizes deeper inequities in public care.
