Morocco’s Khadija rape case: Eleven jailed for 20 years

A Moroccan court has handed down 20-year prison sentences to 11 men found guilty of brutally raping and kidnapping a 17-year-old woman in 2018, according to the prosecution lawyer.

The young woman – called Khadija – had gone public with the assault showing the scars, burns and tattoos she says the perpetrators inflicted on her.

In a 2018 interview she said she would “never forgive” her attackers.

The case caused national outrage and led to a #JusticePourKhadija campaign.
