A member of Morocco's 20th Febuary movement had died Thursday from wounds sustained during a pro-democracy protest on sunday 29th May.
Febuary 20th movement, which is leading street demonstrations calling for democractic change, and Al Adl wal-Ihsane (Justice and Charity), Morocco's lar
gest Islamic opposition group, said 30 year old Kamal Al-Amari had died from wounds sustained in the May 29 clash in Safi, south of Rabat.
"He was beaten in several places and after he went home he began to really feel the effects," Mohammed Aghnaj of Justice and Charity, said to Associated Press.
The authorities are saying, Kamal Al-Amari suffered a cardiac arrest and respiratory failure, . The attorney-general had ordered an inquiry and an autopsy would now be carried out.
Al-Amari died "after cardiac arrest resulting from pneumonia at the Mohammed V hospital where he was taken in the morning," the MAP news agency quoted an anonymous government official as saying.
The royal prosecutor at the Safi court of appeals has ordered an investigation into the cause of death and an autopsy will be carried out, the report added.
Amnesty International, before news of the death of Kamal Al-Amari yesterday, reported on its website that it continues to receive information that some protesters treated in government-run hospitals have been denied copies of medical reports detailing their injuries, potentially obstructing their efforts to obtain justice and reparation.
In Safi, Amnesty International reported, ten men were reportedly arrested by the security forces, taken to cars, physically assaulted and taken to remote areas where they were abandoned. Many of them returned back home on foot with serious injuries.
Up to 5000 peacefull protesters last night marched about 3 miles, from the hospital where Mohammed Al-Amari is kept in Safi to his family home.
With planned demonstrations this sunday all over Morocco, the anger on the streets will be much higher than previously. The authorities must now think carefully about their next steps, specially now they have created Morocco's own Bouazizi.
Many protesters carried pictures of Kamal Amari, a 30-year-old member of the February 20 movement who died in a hospital on June 2 after allegedly being beaten by police at a protest a few days earlier in the city of Safi, south of Casablanca.
