Outdated Photo Shared as Protests Against Mandatory Vaccine Pass in Morocco

Misbar reviewed the widely shared picture and discovered that it was misleading. The photograph was not taken during the most recent anti-mandated vaccination pass protests. Rather, it was captured in June 2017 at a protest in Rabat against the government's Rif policies.

Protests erupted in several Moroccan areas in response to the government's decision to impose an obligatory COVID-19 vaccination program, under which travel and access to public areas will be prohibited unless a COVID-19 vaccine permit is shown.
