The protests, which have convulsed several cities in the North African country, were called by the group GenZ 212, a recently formed collective based on the Discord web platform whose organisers remain unknown.
The protests were set to begin in the afternoon (1600 GMT), the group said, adding that gathering points would be announced later in the day.
Local authorities said demonstrators wielding “bladed weapons” had attempted to “seize ammunition, equipment and service weapons” from the police station.
Many, but not all, of the protests have been peaceful.
“We assure the public and the authorities that our demonstrations will be entirely peaceful,“ GenZ 212 insisted, saying it “rejects all forms of violence, vandalism or rioting”.
On Wednesday, rallies in cities including Casablanca, Tangier and Tetouan were taking place with official authorisation for the first time since the gatherings began on Saturday.
The protests have also demanded reforms to the education and public health sectors, and come at a time of popular discontent over Morocco's social inequalities, which have disproportionately affected young people and women.
