Child protection organization "Matqich Waldi" announced that a Court in Benslimane has sentenced three individuals to prison terms totaling 9.5 years after finding them guilty in a case involving the encouragement of a #minor to consume #alcohol. The court handed down prison sentences of four years for the first defendant, three years for the second, and two and a half years for the third, bringing the total penalties in the case to nine and a half years. The case sparked widespread outrage across #Morocco after a video circulated on social media showing the defendants pressuring a child to drink an #alcoholicbeverage. Following an investigation by the National Judicial Police Brigade, authorities identified and arrested the suspects. "#MatqichWaldi", which joined the proceedings to defend the child victim's rights, welcomed the verdict and reaffirmed its commitment to #combating all forms of #exploitation and #abuse targeting Moroccan children. #ChildProtection #Benslimane #MatqichWaldi #ChildRights #MWN
