Fresh protest rallies hit Moroccan cities

Thousands of Moroccan demonstrators have once again taken to the streets in several cities to demand greater political reforms and social justice.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Peaceful rallies were held in the capital Rabat as well as the cities of Casablanca and Tangiers on Sunday.

Several thousand protesters gathered in Casablanca's Sidi Othmane suburb and chanted slogans to demand "a democratic constitution" and "greater social justice."

Demonstrations have continued despite a referendum in which 98 percent of voters approved constitutional reforms that are aimed at limiting the powers of King Mohammed VI.
