The European Union Has urged Morocco's Government to stop using violent repression against protesters following the  hard-line crackdown on demonstrators at a second violent clash over the weekend that resulted in scores of civilian casualties. police charged the pro-reform demonstrators and beat them up with truncheons.

"We are concerned about the violence used during the demonstrations taking place in Morocco," Natasha Butler, a European Commission spokesperson, told a news briefing.

"We call for restraint in the use of force and respect of fundamental freedoms. Freedom of assembly is a democratic right. We call on Morocco to maintain its track record in allowing citizens to demonstrate peacefully."

The EU has urged Morocco's Government to move forward with genuin reforms and called on "all parties to engage in a peaceful dialogue with a view to finding solutions to the issues raised by the demonstrators."

Around two dozen people were hurt in Casablanca on Sunday when police broke up the protest called by the February 20 Movement, a youth-dominated group leading a wave of protests inspired by uprisings in other Arab nations.

The government spokes person said the demonstrations were banned and that police acted in response to what he described as provocative behavior by the protesters.

OPINION

By juanita Alarcon Avendaño

misfeasance is the only one description to this behavior by the government of morocco when the people try to know them opinion is because something is not working. about this only feel is suprised by the injustice lived for the demonstrators, the violence in century xx not is aceptable and the most worrisome is how the goverment doesn't care  to have good relations with the people.

the prohibition not is the solution and try as procative behavior by the protesters is a way to hide the real problematic. I think tht have problems in the name of the law is redundant.
