Morocco teens held for kissing photo on Facebook



A Moroccan teenage boy and girl have been
arrested for posting an online photograph of
themselves kissing.
The couple - aged 14 and 15 - had their picture taken
by a friend outside their school in the north-eastern
town of Nador and posted it on Facebook.
They were held for violating public decency after a local
newspaper printed the photo. The couple are due
appear before a juvenile court next week.
A campaign to post a million copycat photos was later
launched in protest.
