The protests — responding to calls on social media — have been the largest anti-government demonstrations in years in Morocco, with mainly young people denouncing what they call the government’s misplaced priorities.
Videos have also surfaced showing police hauling protesters into vans as crowds shout to denounce conditions in Morocco.
Officers have detained people mid-interviews for television stations, according to local media.
Protesters in smaller cities like Inzegane and the province Chtouka Ait Baha have since joined in, deepening clashes, according to local media and eyewitness videos.
