Marrakech Court Ruling Against Content Creator
On August 17, 2026, the Marrakech Court of First Instance delivered a significant ruling against the well-known content creator known as "Kalamour". The court sentenced her to ten months of effective imprisonment, alongside a monetary fine of 500 dirhams. Additionally, she has been prohibited from using social media platforms for a duration of three years. This decision came shortly after the initial hearing of her case, during which she was detained and placed in the local Oudaya prison, stemming from charges related to content she had disseminated across digital platforms.
The public prosecutor's office initiated proceedings against Kalamour based on actions that were legally classified as a public violation of decency. This classification arose from the release and circulation of video clips and excerpts from live broadcasts that were deemed to contain content contrary to public morals. The arrest of Kalamour at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca occurred while she attempted to leave the country, coordinated by the police forces in Marrakech. Following her arrest, she was subjected to judicial investigation and subsequently referred to the public prosecutor's office, which decided to pursue charges while she remained in custody.
The ruling issued by the Marrakech court pertains to the actions attributed to Kalamour, imposing specified penalties that include both imprisonment and fines, along with the restriction on her access to social media platforms for a legally defined period of three years. This case underscores the ongoing discussions surrounding content regulation and the responsibilities of social media influencers in adhering to public decency standards.
