Moroccan Actress Shares Harrowing Dubai Prison Experience After Pardon

Pardoned on February 9 by the Emir of Dubai, Moroccan-born actress Mariam Hussein opens up, in tears, about her difficult time in prison.
In a video posted on her social media accounts, the actress advised people who want to go out despite the epidemic to "thank God for being under house arrest and not in prison".
Drawing on her short but painful prison experience, the native of Tetouan confides that prison is a damaged environment that has affected her mental health, and that it cannot in any way be compared to confinement.
To recall, Mariam Hussein, a Moroccan-Iraqi actress, was sentenced on January 26 to 3 months in prison and deportation from the country for having had intimate relations in public with an American rapper.
