The court of Al Hoceima has just sentenced a young man to a sentence of five months in prison for calling to "slit the throat" of the Head of Government Saâdeddine El Othmani and his entourage.

This call had been published on Facebook just after the discovery of the bodies of the two Scandinavian tourists near Mount Toubkal, which he attributes to El Othmani and his entourage, reports the site Alyaoum24.

Immediately after the dissemination of this message, the police had gone to the home of his parents located in Bni Bouayach where he was arrested before being placed in custody as part of the investigation conducted by the judicial police of Al Hoceima.

After a conviction of one year in prison a few days ago, his sentence was reduced to 5 months in prison.
