Moroccan Court Sentences Pro-Polisario Activist to 2 Years for State Security Threats

He is accused of "incitement to undermine the internal security of the State, direct and public incitement to commit crimes against public officials, death threats and kidnapping, incitement against the territorial integrity of the Kingdom, incitement to disturb public order, insult and defamation directed against constitutional institutions, organized bodies and public agents in the performance of their duties, publication and dissemination of false news and facts, incitement to discrimination and hatred."

The man had been arrested last March in an operation carried out in the Basque Country. During his arrest, several phones and computers were seized and then handed over to the judicial authorities as evidence. The Spanish justice system had, for its part, accused him of "undermining Spanish interests".
