Morocco’s national police arrested a social media activist on Sunday after she allegedly posted content deemed offensive to religious beliefs, a law enforcement source told Hespress.
The individual, identified as “I.L.,” was taken into custody by the National Judicial Police Brigade following widespread backlash over a photo she shared online. In the image, she appeared wearing a shirt bearing phrases considered blasphemous toward God, sparking public outrage and a flood of online reports and critical comments.
Authorities moved swiftly in response to the uproar, launching a formal investigation into the incident. The source confirmed that a judicial inquiry is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the case and that legal measures are being taken.
Moroccan law penalizes acts that publicly offend religious sensibilities, and the case has reignited discussions around freedom of expression and its limits under the country’s legal framework.
