The annual report of the Public Prosecution has revealed that Moroccan courts handled 84 cases involving individuals prosecuted for publicly breaking their fast during Ramadan. This prosecution is based on Article 222 of the Moroccan Penal Code, which stipulates a penalty of one to six months in prison and a fine ranging from 12 to 120 dirhams for any Muslim who publicly eats or drinks in a public space during fasting hours without a valid religious exemption.
In the context of offenses against national symbols, Assabah newspaper reported that 22 cases were registered concerning insults to the national flag, state symbols, or acts deemed harmful to national principles, involving 24 defendants.
The report also provided statistics on offenses related to religious practices, recording 31 cases where 33 individuals were prosecuted for disrupting religious ceremonies. Additionally, 36 individuals were prosecuted in 28 cases related to the desecration or destruction of cemeteries, while six people were charged in three cases involving the defilement or mistreatment of corpses.
These findings highlight the authorities’ focus on maintaining religious and national values while reinforcing legal measures against acts that threaten spiritual security and public order.
