Morocco marks 73rd Revolution anniversary and pardons 935
Morocco celebrates the 73rd anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People, which falls on August 20th each year. Various events are organized in several cities, and King Mohammed VI has pardoned 935 people, including 807 detainees and 128 on parole. The festivities include rhetorical festivals in Oujda and Marrakech that recall the sacrifices of the resistance and revive pivotal moments in national history, such as the August 16, 1953, uprising and the demonstration in Al Mshwar on August 15, 1953, which were significant milestones in Morocco's struggle for independence. The roots of the resistance date back to the start of the French occupation in 1912 and developed through battles and popular resistance, culminating in King Mohammed V's return and Morocco's independence in 1956. The anniversary is considered a symbol of national unity, the monarchy, and the country's heroic history.
