Thousands poured into the streets of Rabat on Sunday June 5 to condemn the death of a protester and to demand an end to the country-wide government crackdown on peaceful demonstrations.

„We are here today to protest the murder of Khaled al-Amari,“ said a 40-year-old Rabat resident who did not give her name out of fear of the authorities. „But we are also here because we demand dignity, democracy and freedom. This repression must end.“
