Three of the accused appeared in court on Monday before a presiding judge in the capital, Rabat, charged with incitement to commit felonies and insulting an official body after they printed activist slogans on Morocco’s soccer team jerseys, their attorneys told The Associated Press. They could face up to five years in prison if convicted.

5 years in jail!

They got carried away with the recklessness on social media and ignored wise counsel that you can protest without breaking the law. Smh.

For many ignorant people who think that anyone can incite recklessly and insult/threaten public officials anywhere else apart from Nigeria, I have got news for you. No country in the world will accept it!

Smh.
Ignorance and hubris may not even allow you to liberate yourself before liberating others.
The generation you are mocking didn’t meet the technology you are addicted to today but created it. What have you created? Noise and vandalism? Abeg gett busy and humble yourself or you can't.

You are here idling online and want to liberate. Maybe it is your children that may end up liberating you from Ignorance.

Morocco has charged more than 2,400 people over recent youth-led protests that turned violent, a sweeping response to some of the country’s largest anti-government demonstrations in years.

Of the 2,480 charged, 1,473 people remain in custody awaiting trial. Charges included armed rebellion, insulting and using violence against a public official exercising his duties, and incitement to commit felonies.

The demonstrations took Morocco by surprise after a youth-led movement called Gen Z 212 mobilized thousands across the country to protest the state of public services. The movement, organized on social media platforms like Discord, criticized government spending on infrastructure to host sporting events while neglecting social services.

Though organizers urged peaceful demonstrations, protests turned violent in some cities and towns, leaving three dead, injuring many others and damaging shops and cars. Rights groups criticized authorities’ heavy-handed approach toward the demonstrators, but the public prosecutor said interventions were carried out legally.

The wave of arrests has alarmed human rights groups and become an additional rallying cry for demonstrators, who have at recent protests held signs for those arrested for attending protests. The Moroccan Association for Human Rights has denounced the arrests and called them random, while Gen Z 212 has demanded the release of all the protests’ detainees.

“Those calling for a fair chance for their future should not be met with lethal force and repression,” Human Rights Watch’s Associate Director Hanan Salah said last week in a statement.

Those arrested include Hamza Raid, a Moroccan rapper who was detained in Casablanca last month, whose lyrics often touch on politics and channel youth anger.

Three of the accused appeared in court on Monday before a presiding judge in the capital, Rabat, charged with incitement to commit felonies and insulting an official body after they printed activist slogans on Morocco’s soccer team jerseys, their attorneys told The Associated Press. They could face up to five years in prison if convicted.


Before a crowded court room, the attorneys made an application for bail for their clients – two college students and a print shop worker – who they said could be harmed after doing little to justify their arrests.

The public prosecutor said more than 400 people were condemned, with sentences ranging from one to 15 years. It added that 34 people were acquitted of all charges.

While structures protests are a personal right, protests MUST be done responsibly by prevent being hijacked by 5th columnists from various insidious backgrounds with the ulterior motives to destroy any country or impose their own warped ideologies.

This will lead to the main protest that will lead to the downfall of the incumbent leader and a possible revolution. These senseless old men parading themselves as leaders of their countries have refused to have sense and accept the reality that the new generation of young people now are no longer comfortable with the mediocre corrupt leadership they have been offering to their nations for decades, which is the main cause of hardship, insecurity and slow progress among citizens.


As western countries continue to tighten their borders, making it more difficult for young people from developing and struggling nations to migrate to better nations for greener pastures, we will continue to witness more youth-inspired political uprisings and revolutions in Africa, Asia, Middle-East and South American countries that their leaders have continued to fail.
