Two weeks ago, dozens of diplômés chômeurs began occupying an Education Ministry building, which police blockaded to prevent supporters from bringing in food, said Youssef Raissouni, head of the Rabat chapter of the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH).
Four or five days ago, authorities cut off water and electricity to the building, Mr Raissouni said. On Wednesday evening, additional protesters massed outside.
A video uploaded to YouTube apparently by activists from the February 8 Group of Hope purports to show part of what happened next: a flash of light, screams, and at least one burning figure staggering towards the camera as onlookers flee and supporters beat out the flames.
