Morocco Faces Criticism Over Protester Abuse Amid Africa Cup PreparationsHuman rights groups are condemning Morocco for alleged abuse of young protesters, with hundreds detained and beaten after demonstrations over underfunded healthcare and education. Female protesters reported harassment and inappropriate touching, while three were shot and killed by security forces. More than 2,400 people are now prosecuted, with some receiving prison sentences of up to 15 years. Despite government promises of social reforms, many young people remain fearful of protesting due to alleged beatings and forced confessions. Last week, relatives of two victims were reportedly detained after holding pictures of their loved ones outside parliament.
