Cartoonist jailed over king caricatures
Morocco has sentenced a cartoonist to jail for creating caricatures of the king, per newagebd.net. The case has drawn international attention to freedom of expression in the kingdom.
The cartoonist was charged under Morocco's controversial defamation laws that criminalize criticism of the monarchy. Human rights groups have condemned the ruling as a setback for press freedom, reports eurasiareview.com.
In a separate development, Morocco announced that MINURSO's mandate has expired and will not be renewed, according to en.ilsole24ore.com. This follows Morocco's recent diplomatic efforts to clarify its position on the Western Sahara conflict.
