The UE urged to Morocco

The European Union Has urged Morocco's Government to stop using violent repression against protesters following the hard-liner crackdown on demonstrators at a second violent clash over the weekend that resulted in scores of civilian casualties. Police charged the pro-reform demonstrators and beat them up with truncheons.

"We are concerned about the violence used during the demonstrations taking place in Morocco," Natasha Butler, a European Commission spokesperson, told a news briefing.

"We call for restraint in the use of force and respect of fundamental freedoms. Freedom of assembly is a democratic right. We call on Morocco to maintain its track record in allowing citizens to demonstrate peacefully."

The EU has urged Morocco's Government to move forward with genuin reforms and called on "all parties to engage in a peaceful dialogue with a view to finding solutions to the issues raised by the demonstrators."

Around two dozen people were hurt in Casablanca on Sunday when police broke up the protest called by the February 20 Movement, a youth-dominated group leading a wave of protests inspired by uprisings in other Arab nations.

The government spokesperson said the demonstrations were banned and that police acted in response to what he described as provocative behavior by the protesters.

- I had choose this new because it’s about the violence in Morocco and I’m totally against this and I hope that Morocco end with this violence and begin to respect better the persons.
