Moroccan protesters denounce corruption in new demonstrations

Moroccan protesters have once again taken to the streets to demand an end to corruption and tyranny in the North African country, Press TV reports. The protesters marched in the city of Imzouren in northern Morocco, calling for reforms and the immediate release of political prisoners. The angry demonstrators also denounced the government crackdown on pro-reform and peaceful rallies. Morocco has been facing serious economic troubles over the past few years, with high unemployment and rising levels of poverty. The anti-government demonstrations in Morocco began in the wake of the popular uprisings in other North African nations as well as Arab countries in the Middle East. The country's King Mohammad VI has already announced some reforms, but the protesters insist that they are superficial and not meaningful. They say the recent parliamentary polls in the country failed to display true democratic reforms and that the US-backed ruling monarchy is not committed to real changes.
