Moroccan Singer Dounia Batma Seeks Royal Pardon After Six Months in Prison

Sources have confirmed to AlJarida24 that Batma’s defense is requesting a royal pardon for their client who has already spent six months in the Al Oudaya prison in Marrakech. The Moroccan singer was sentenced to one year in prison and a fine of 10,000 dirhams as part of the famous "Hamza mon Bb" case.

Under an arrest warrant, Dounia Batma was arrested by the judicial police in January at the home of her friend in downtown Casablanca. She had requested the royal pardon and her lawyers had taken legal steps in this direction, but the court had rejected these requests.
