Moroccans hold fresh anti-govt. rallies

Moroccan demonstrators have once again taken to streets across the country to call for better living conditions and social justice.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The protesters are trying to press the Arab world's longest-ruling dynasty to fight corruption.

Demonstrations have continued despite a recent referendum in which constitutional reforms aimed at curbing the powers of King Mohammed VI were approved.

The youth-led February 20 movement which has held weekly protest rallies in the North African nation for several months has voiced strong opposition to the new changes in the country's constitution, calling them window-dressing.

The opposition group says the reforms do not go far enough and want more of the king's powers to be limited. They have vowed to continue the protests until more political reforms are introduced.
