Moroccan Islamist Leader's Son Arrested Over Social Media Posts

The security forces went to the home of the leader of the Jamaa, Mohamed El Abbadi, in Salé on Thursday, April 2, where they arrested his son, Yasser. What is he accused of?

According to the spokesman of the Jamaa, Fathallah Arsalane, the reasons for this arrest, described by some as a "reckless act", lie elsewhere. According to Al Massae, the publication of tendentious posts on social networks would be the reason for the arrest of Mohamed El Abbadi’s son.

Yasser, in one of his posts, accused the state of "terrorism" towards doctors and teachers. "We live under the grip of a dictatorial and terrorist regime that kidnaps all those who protest peacefully and imprisons them, just because they ask for the construction of a hospital," he wrote in another post.
