Jailed for homosexuality
Print Edition
A Moroccan court has jailed six men for up to three years on various charges including homosexuality, a rights group said on Wednesday.
Despite its liberal reputation compared with other parts of the Arab world, Morocco remains a conservative Muslim country whose government is led by a moderate Islamist party and where gay sex is illegal, punishable by a maximum three years in prison.
The six defendants were convicted on Monday of accusations ranging from “homosexuality, inciting prostitution, mediating in prostitution and being drunk in public,” said Ahmed Amin Chaabi, from the Moroccan League for the Defense of Human Rights.
The court in Faqih Bensalah, south of Rabat, handed down prison sentences of one, two and three years.
