The Marrakech Court of First Instance has made headlines by sentencing the influencer Soukaina Glamour to a definitive prison term of ten months, accompanied by a fine of 500 dirhams. This ruling is linked to her involvement in the creation and dissemination of digital content deemed offensive to public morals. Additionally, the court has imposed a three-year ban on her use of social media platforms, as per the details available.
This sentence comes just days after her arrest on August 12 at Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca. Soukaina was apprehended by the National Security services in coordination with their counterparts in Marrakech while she was preparing to leave the country on a flight. The case began following a report from specialized digital monitoring services, which identified the publication of videos on a social media page that were considered harmful to societal ethics.
Upon instructions from the competent prosecutor's office, a judicial investigation was launched to identify the creator of the content and to clarify the circumstances surrounding its creation and distribution. Security services conducted thorough investigations that led to the identification of the suspect prior to her arrest at the airport.
Subsequently, the case was presented to the judiciary, which ultimately rendered a verdict of ten months in prison, a fine of 500 dirhams, and a three-year prohibition from accessing social media. This case arises amidst a broader context of heightened scrutiny over the digital content shared on social media platforms, especially when such content may infringe upon Moroccan laws regarding public decency.
