Morocco’s highest court on Wednesday rejected the final appeals of two journalists, Omar Radi and Soulaimane Raissouni, imprisoned on sexual assault charges they deny, their lawyer told AFP.

The Court of Cassation in Rabat “rejected our appeal and confirmed the prison sentences”, said Miloud Kandil about Radi, 37, who was sentenced to six years’ prison, and Raissouni, 51, who was handed a five-year term.
