Moroccon teenagers arrested for kissing on facebook
Rabat (Morocco): Moroccan police have arrested a teenage boy and girl for posting a photo on Facebook of them kissing, with the incident provoking a slew of copycats, a rights organization has said.
“It involves a teenage boy and his girlfriend. They were arrested on Thursday for violating public decency by posting a photo of them kissing” in the northeastern town of Nador, said Chakib al-Khayari, president of the Rif Association of Human Rights, on Friday.
The incident has caused such a stir among young people as a number of other couples have posted similar photos on their Facebook pages.
A local official contacted by a French news agency confirmed the arrests, but declined to comment. Khayari said that the pair is supposed to appear before a juvenile court judge next Friday.
