- Case Summary
In a video uploaded online, Haydour, a student at a technical college, called Mohammed VI a “dog,” “a murderer,” and “a dictator,” and warned the king that “he can sit in his palace and organize parties,” but as long as people are “starving,” the people “will not let go… and will get their due one day.” The video was a segment on youth discussing politics and justice. He was arrested and convicted under the Penal Code for offending the dignity of the King.
