Moroccan King's Past Comments on Women's Attire Resurface Amid Shorts Controversy

The case of the Belgian volunteer girls in shorts, who were threatened with beheading while carrying out renovation work on a road in Taroudant, is widely reported in the Moroccan news. On the Internet, a correlation has been made with the remarks of the late King Hassan II who, in a video from a certain period, had addressed the issue of shorts, in particular, and women’s freedom, in general, during the "L’heure de vérité" program, hosted by Alain Duhamel and widely followed by Moroccans at the time.
