REUTERS AFRICA: RABAT - Dozens of people were injured in Morocco's biggest city, Casablanca, on Sunday when riot police used truncheons to break up a rally by several hundred demonstrators demanding reforms, witnesses said.
"This was a peaceful rally, we don't know what made the police attack a peaceful protest," Ghizlaine Benameur, an opposition activist who took part in the rally, told Reuters by telephone from Casablanca.
"This has been their most violent intervention since the start of the protests last month," she said.
Spokesmen at Morocco's interior ministry could not immediately be reached for comment. >>> Reuters | Monday, March 14, 2011
