Overview
- AMDH reported more than 100 arrests in Rabat on Sunday and dozens more in Casablanca, Marrakech, Agadir and Souk Sebt.
- Police blocked groups from assembling at several central points in Rabat, with most of the 70‑plus detained Saturday later released after identity checks, and authorities have not commented.
- Organizers announced peaceful protests for Monday evening, using Discord and last‑minute location disclosures to reduce preventive arrests.
- Human‑rights groups and two opposition parties criticized the detentions and restrictions on gatherings.
- The mobilization was catalyzed by reports that eight pregnant women died at Agadir’s public hospital, which prompted local dismissals, an internal inquiry and pledged investments.
