Sentencing of Influencer in Marrakech
On August 17, 2026, the Marrakech court delivered a significant ruling against the well-known content creator, known as "Kalamour," sentencing her to ten months of imprisonment alongside a financial penalty of 500 dirhams. Additionally, the court imposed a three-year ban on her use of social media platforms. This decision was made following the initial trial session, where she was detained and subsequently jailed at the local Oudaya prison, stemming from a case linked to content she had published on various digital platforms.
The prosecution had initiated legal proceedings against Kalamour for her actions, which were classified as a public disturbance of morality due to the dissemination of videos and excerpts from a live broadcast deemed inappropriate for public decency. Her arrest took place at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca while she was attempting to leave the country, following coordination with local security forces in Marrakech. After her arrest, she was subjected to a judicial investigation and subsequently referred to the public prosecution, which opted for her detention during the ongoing proceedings.
This court ruling reflects the serious nature of the allegations against Kalamour and underscores the legal framework governing online behavior in Morocco. The imposed penalties, including imprisonment, fines, and a prolonged restriction on social media usage, illustrate the judiciary's stance on maintaining public order and decency in the digital age.
