Demonstrators took to the streets in cities around Morocco on Wednesday, some clashing with police as they denounced the country’s decision to require coronavirus vaccination passes to be allowed to work and enter public venues.

The decision came into effect on October 21 and stipulates that Moroccans must provide proof of vaccination in order to enter their workplaces.
