Moroccan activist Fouad Abdelmoumni has been sentenced to six months in prison for 'spreading false allegations' and other charges related to a Facebook post in which he accused Morocco of spying against France. His lawyer argues that he should have been prosecuted under the Press Code, which does not provide for prison sentences. The charges against Abdelmoumni include 'spreading false allegations,' 'defamation,' and 'insulting public bodies.' The post was made during a visit by French President Emmanuel Macron, which marked a thawing of diplomatic ties between Rabat and Paris after strained relations over espionage allegations.
