RABAT: A Moroccan YouTuber was arrested and appeared in court late on Tuesday for "insulting Moroccans and constitutional institutions" in a video, the kingdom’s public prosecutor announced.
Mohamed Sekkaki, known as Moul Kaskita, was detained on Sunday after publishing a video in which he criticised King Mohammed VI, considered "inviolable" by the kingdom’s constitution. In the 12 minute YouTube video, Sekkaki said the monarch’s speeches were not followed by results, while Moroccans suffered from clientelism and nepotism.
Sekkaki, whose frequent broadcasts normally attract over 100,000 views, also insulted his compatriots, calling them ignorant and donkeys who "watch their rights being flouted without saying a word".
