An Emirati court has sentenced a man to three years in prison and imposed a AED5 million fine for posting a social media video that authorities claim promoted child marriage in Morocco and contained false information. The Abu Dhabi Federal Court of Appeals’ State Security Chamber found Saif Salem Saif Ali Al Maqbali guilty, according to a statement from the state news agency WAM.
The court also ordered the removal of the video, shut down his social media profiles, and confiscated the phone used to distribute the content. Prosecutors stated that the case was expedited after investigations revealed the defendant uploaded a video endorsing marriage to underage girls in Morocco, falsely claiming that Moroccan law permitted such unions.
Authorities noted that the video’s language could incite hatred, foster social division, and potentially damage relationships between Emirati and Moroccan communities.
