Casablanca (Morocco), June 27, 2011 (SPS) - Thousands of people marched Sunday through cities in Morocco to protest the constitutional reforms proposed by King Mohamed IV on June 18, 2011.
The protesters says the proposed constitution "do not go far enough to reduce King powers.
"We reject the offers made by the king, because they keep the essence of authority in the hands of a non-elected person who will not be subject to any form of accountability," said Hamid, one of Casablanca Sunday's protester.
According to Aziz Yaakoubi, a member of February 20 Movement, wo protesters were injured after being pelted with stones by a group of king's reform supporters.
On relevant context, thousands marched through the capital Rabat, separated from rival marchers by dozens of baton-wielding riot police.
"The police encircled us, they didn't let us march to the parliament," said Najib Chawki, one of the coordinators of the February 20 Movement.
These demonstrations come just days before a July 1 referendum on the reforms proposed by the Moroccan King. (SPS)
