Casablanca youth on trial over king caricatures
A report regarding the postponement of the trial session for caricature artist Yasser Munbir in Casablanca to September 21st. The delay was due to charges against him of insulting King Mohammed VI and publishing offensive drawings on Instagram. He faces two charges, including insulting a constitutional institution through electronic means. He is considered part of the youth demographic (22 years old), and his detention occurred without a lawyer due to the lawyers' strike. The details of the case reflect the government's escalation against protesters over the publication of offensive images of the king, amid ongoing investigations and assertions that the matter relates to freedom of expression and human rights.
