Raissouni was arrested outside a clinic in Rabat along with her fiance on 31 August.
Plainclothes police interrogated the 28-year-old, before detaining Belkeziz and two medical staff who said they had performed an emergency procedure on Raissouni to remove a blood clot. The journalist was then forced to submit to a gynaecological examination.
Her supporters and observers say that her arrest, interrogation and trial represent a state-led effort to publicly shame Raissouni and dissuade others from similar criticism.
Abortion is illegal in Morocco except when the woman’s life is threatened and with a husband’s permission. While it’s infrequently prosecuted, Moroccan authorities do use it as a cudgel to punish those they deem too critical, including journalists.Ahmed Benchemsi, regional director for Human Rights Watch, called the verdict a “black day for freedom in Morocco,” as well as a “blatant injustice, a flagrant violation of human rights, and a frontal attack on individual freedoms.
