Moroccan Activist Jailed for Calling Government Officials ’Terrorists’ on Facebook

5 January 2019 – bySaid · 1 min read

Back to square one for the former leader of the February 20 movement Oussama El Khlifi who has just been placed in detention at the El Arjat prison in Salé.

The decision was made on Friday by the court of first instance of Salé following El Khlifi’s remarks on Facebook in which he had described the PJD deputies and the Head of Government Saâdeddine El Othmani as "terrorists", going so far as to talk about "beheading".

This is not the first time the young man has been incarcerated. He had been sentenced a few years ago to a 4-year prison sentence for a dark story of rape on minors.
