The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

Fatima Karim, a 39-year-old blogger, was detained by Moroccan police in July for "attacking the Islamic religion via electronic means" after posting satirical comments about Islam and the Koran on Facebook. Karim describes herself as "secular" and advocates for the separation of state and religion. She was sentenced to two years in prison on August 15th. Her family reported to local media that she began a hunger strike in late October to protest against the heavy sentencing. During her trial, Karim defended her statements, saying they were within the bounds of freedom of expression. However, she also apologized to those "whoever felt offended." Article 267-5 of Morocco's Penal Code allows those who are guilty of insulting Islam to be imprisoned for two years, with the possibility of the sentence being increased to five years if the offense was committed publicly, which includes "electronic means" and the use of social media.
