Marrakech is a 70-year-old Spaniard and a Moroccan man arrested in his twenties. The two were caught in bed together by the hotel maid where she spent the night. Homosexual acts are punishable in Morocco. The men are in custody. They could face imprisonment of up to three years.
Terribly sad, but I always wonder why people holiday in these places and wonder why they get in trouble by acting as they would at home.
I am gay, and would never holiday in a country where my lifestyle is punishable by prison as I know that when I have had a few drinks I might be less in control of who I get with.
They won't send them to jail. Remember the controversial pedophile pardon that sent Morocco into a civil unrest? That's how overcrowded prisons are.
Nevertheless they need to fix their gay laws asap. They're outdated and they've got bigger crimes to worry about. Although they could still hit them with a big prostitution fine.
Op why did you write Marroco and not Morocco?
Ot- what a mess! I hope they are both released and the young guy especially is able to safely carry on with his life!
