A feminist activist in Morocco has been jailed for 30 months after she posted a photo of herself wearing a T-shirt with the words: 'Allah is a lesbian'.

Ibtissame Lachgar was sentenced for 'causing harm to Islam' and has been ordered to pay a fine of approximately £4,027.

The activist was arrested last month, with the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Rabat Court of First Instance in Morocco announcing: 'Following a woman’s posting of a photo on her social media account, which depicts her wearing a shirt with phrases offensive to the divine, along with a caption insulting Islam, the public prosecutor ordered an investigation.

'Due to its urgency, the subject has been placed under police custody in accordance with the law.'

In the photo, the outspoken feminist activist can be seen smiling with her hands on her hips as she poses wearing the T-shirt.

She wrote on X: 'In Morocco, I walk around with T-shirts bearing messages against religions, Islam, etc.

'You tire us with your sanctimoniousness, your accusations. Yes, Islam, like any religious ideology, is FASCIST. PHALLOCRATIC AND MISOGYNISTIC.'

Her post triggered an onset of online abuse, with Lachgar claiming she endured 'cyber bullying, thousands of threats of rape, death, calls for lynching and stoning'.

In Morocco, those who 'cause harm' to Islam can face penalties of between six months to two years and fines of up to around £40,000.

I'm surprised she's still alive. Very ballsy.

I'm surprised she's still alive.

For now.

A female in any Arab prison will never know any peace. She is lucky that she is not young and beautiful. That would be the worst.

Women are known to disfigure themselves, disfigure their face, before going to prison in Arab countries. Some kill themselves. They know very well what is going to happen to them.
