In a follow up to our earlier story about Nadia Yassine, her lawyer requested the right for her to leave the country. According to reports from Rabat the leading member of the non-authorised Islamic movement Al Adl Wal Ihssane, has been allowed to leave the Moroccan territory despite the charges against her.
Judicial sources said that Rabat's First Instance Court accepted the request made by Yassine's lawyer demanding his client's right to leave the national territory.
The Criminal Investigation Department of Rabat's First Instance Court had decided on Dec. 28 to defer to a later date the case of Yassine as well as those of two journalists of the weekly Al Ousbouya Al Jadida.
The decision to postpone the case was demanded by the defendants' lawyers to prepare the defense.
The Criminal Investigation Department of Rabat's First Instance Court had summoned Yassine on June 6 for anti-monarchy statements in an interview with the weekly Al Ousbouya Al Jadida.
So - will Yassine leave the country? Watch this space.
