Woman ‘jailed for blasphemy’ in Morocco over satirical text imitating Quranic verse
A court in Morocco is reported to have sentenced an Italian-Moroccan woman to three and a half years in prison for insulting Islam after she shared a post on Facebook of a satirical text imitating Quranic verse.
The father of the 23-year-old woman says that she was arrested at the airport in the capital, Rabat, on her return from France where she was studying.
A religious association in Marrakesh instigated the case against her by making a complaint to the authorities.
