Unemployed teachers beaten at protest in Morocco.
Today a group of several hundred unemployed people, mostly teachers, from the ANDCM (National Association of Unemployed Graduates in Morocco) held a protest in front of the Moroccan parliament in Rabat. It was also joined by a group of students. The demo was dispersed by rioting police several times, but protestors came back with street blockades. Police attacked the peaceful protestors, mostly beating them in a brutal manner. The action was cut short by thunderstorms.
The unemployed have been protesting for the creation of more jobs in the public sector, in this case, in particular for teachers.
