A Young protester has been killed in clashes with Moroccan security forces in an anti-government protest in the northeastern city of Taza.
Nabil al-Zaboori was killed during fresh rallies that demanded deeper reforms and actions against corruption.
Earlier on Saturday, a protest rally was held in the capital Rabat in protest at the events that led to the suicide of a 16-year-old girl who was forced to marry the man who raped her.
Moroccan activists called for an end to legislation that allows rapists to marry their victims.
Demonstrators gathered outside parliament-- calling for an overhaul of the penal code. The law in Morocco permits underage marriage to resolve rape cases.
Anti-government protests broke out in Morocco on February 20, 2011. Morocco's King Mohammed announced some reforms following the rallies, amending the constitution to curtail his powers and hold early elections. The protesters, however, say the reforms do not go far enough.
