Moroccan Sentenced to 3.5 Years in Jail for Insulting Islam on Facebook

A 23-year old Moroccan-Italian woman was arrested in the Rabat-Sale Airport in Rabat, Morocco, in May 2021 after returning from France. She was charged with insulting Islam on a Facebook post she made in 2019. People on social media were quick to defend the woman, highlighting her rights to criticize ideas or “intellectual criticism.” At the same time, many people heavily criticized her for insulting Islam. Morocco’s penal code, Article 267-5, prescribes a penalty with a sentence of six months or up to two years in prison. On June 28th, the woman was sentenced to three years and six months in jail with a fine of almost $6,000 (USD).
