The Image Does Not Depict Moroccan Protestors Calling for the Monarchy’s Demise
The Claim
The picture shows Moroccan protestors calling for the monarchical system.
Emerging story
Several social media have circulated a picture alleging it shows Moroccan protestors calling for the abolition of the monarchy.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar has investigated the claim and found the circulating picture altered and fabricated.
The original picture was taken during a protest in the Lebanese capital in February 2011. It depicts Lebanese demonstrators holding a banner that reads, "The people want to take down the sectarian regime."
Photo description: The original picture was taken in Lebanon during a protest in 2011.
Another picture taken during the same protests shows the same people holding the banner.
The claim coincided with the protests held in some Moroccan cities against imposing the vaccinal pass as a condition to travel or to enter public institutions.
