Protesters demand release of anti-mining activists in Morocco

Thousands of people protested the arrest of three anti-mining activists in the northeastern city of Jerada in Morocco on Friday.

Protesters who were demanding the release of the three detained activists marched through the streets, managing to break through police blockades.

Demonstrators have been campaigning against the economic policy of the government, which encourages people to dig abandoned mines in dangerous conditions.
