Ismail Lghazzaoui, a Moroccan agricultural engineer and Palestine solidarity activist, was sentenced to one year in prison for incitement following protests against American support for Israel. This sentence stems from his advocacy efforts through the BDS movement and calls for action against local complicity with Israel's military. His arrest followed attempts to mobilize protests outside the US Consulate, emphasizing the dangerous intersection of activism and government repression in Morocco, reflecting wider trends seen across different nations.
Lghazzaoui's case highlights the crackdown on Palestinian solidarity activism, with Moroccan authorities invoking harsh penalties for his protests against Israel's military actions.
Authorities in Morocco have used charges of incitement to silence activists like Lghazzaoui, who challenge state complicity with Israel through protests and advocacy.
