A 23 year-old Italian student of
Moroccan origin has been jailed for three years in Marrakesh for
offending Islam, sources said Wednesday.
The young woman was arrested at the airport in the Moroccan city
on June 20 after flying from Marseilles, where she is doing law
at university, to join her family who live in Morocco.
The student, who was born in Vimercate near Milan in 1998 and
who grew up in the province of Monza, was convicted over a 2019
Facebook post that called a Koran verse obliging Muslims to
sacrifice "the whiskey verse".
She was found guilty of publicly offending Islam.
