Morocco jails one man, detains another over criticism of authorities on social media via SABCNewsOnline

Mohamed Sekkaki, who has a popular following on YouTube, shared a video last month criticizing King Mohammed’s speeches and calling the Moroccan people “donkeys” and “stupid.”

Separately, rights activist Omar Radi was arrested in Casablanca on a charge of insulting a judge in a tweet, his lawyer Miloud Kandil said. King Mohammed VI ceded some powers to an elected government after the Arab Spring protests in 2011, but he still has the final say on important issues. Demonstrations demanding social justice broke out in the Rif mountain region in 2016.

He has been remanded in pre-trial custody, Kandil said, and his next hearing will be on Jan. 2. Radi also worked as a journalist and was an activist in the 2011 protests.
