Police in Morocco have arrested two young men for kissing in public, after a video featuring the pair was published to social media.

The two men were arrested on Friday 7 January in Aït Melloul, a neighbourhood in the Moroccan city of Inezgane, after a clip surfaced of them kissing in silhouette inside a high school classroom, reports Morocco World News.

Local news outlet Le360 said the men were two friends both studying at university, one a hospitality student, and the other a law student who was working as a coordinator at the school where the vision was recorded.

Same-sex sexual activity in Morocco is currently punishable by up to three years in jail.

They're custody right now and if found guilty, could face that three years in prison. Mess, all for a good damn kiss. The WORLD

Because putting them into jail for 3 years should be "curing" them, right

Didn't this happen before in Morocco and the men were released after the government stepped in?

They sure as hell weren't expecting someone to be taking a video of them, that's what

I think that was last year and I'm not quite of that particular situation. This is from a couple of days ago though.

EDIT:

Quote:

Last June, two Moroccan men in their twenties were convicted of an “affront to public decency” and an “unnatural act with a person of the same sex” after being arrested for allegedly holding each other at a historic site in Rabat.

Those guys were given a four month jail sentence and fined.

Literally. Focusing on something as miniscule as a kiss between two men
