A resident of Morocco, was sentenced to three years in prison for creating a social networking site Facebook fictitious account a member of the royal family, reports The Register.
26 -year-old Moroccan Fouad Mourtada (Fouad Mourtada), was arrested Feb. 5 on charges of unlawful assault on the identity of Prince Moulay Rachid (Moulay Rachid). Last Friday, the court ruled in Casablanca sentenced offender. In addition to jail poor guy will have to pay a fine of $ 1,300 U.S..
Representatives of the organization ' Amnesty International ' (Amnesty International) were shocked by the severity of the sentence. ' The verdict disproportsionalen misconduct ' - told the AFP news agency member of the Moroccan Organization for Human Rights. In a statement made by relatives Apostates, said that the accused was forced to admit to committing an offense under the pressure and fear of physical harm. Counsel for the convicted to appeal the sentence planning.
However, although the decision of the Moroccan justice is too hard, this is hardly the most severe of the penalties applied to violators of on-line for all, yet brief, history of similar crimes. Recall that the Afghan authorities recently sentenced to death by a student to be distributed among teachers and other students from my university file with the criticism of Islamic fundamentalists who misinterpret the Koran and oppress the weaker sex. Since the student has been convicted Sharia court, it is unlikely to find support in the Supreme Court of Afghanistan, and his only hope is to appeal against the judgment President Hamid Karzai.
In the Christian world, even for a murder committed by an online service, should be punished as a can not. It is worth remembering the case of the death of 13 -year-old American Megan Meier, to suicide brought communion to MySpace. The police could not find a suitable article for criminal Lori Drew, hiding under the account ' Josh Evans' sixteen ' and tease a teenage girl to suicide. Women registered in the service under a fictitious name, faces a sentence for fraud, and he was the victim of a formal administration of MySpace, not deceased.
