Morocco teens held for kissing photo

A Moroccan teenage boy and girl have been arrested for posting an online photograph of themselves kissing.

The couple - aged 14 and 15 - had their picture taken by a friend outside their school in the north-eastern town of Nador and posted it on Facebook.

They were held for violating public decency after a local newspaper printed the photo. The couple are due appear before a juvenile court next week.

A campaign to post a million copycat photos was later launched in protest.
