Moroccan star Said Lamjarred sent a message to his fellow citizen, star Dounia Batma, following her arrest in the case known as "Hamza Montbibi" and her subsequent imprisonment. Lamjarred posted a photo of Dounia on his Instagram Story, commenting: "May God ease your worries, my sister Dounia," along with a white heart emoji.
Batma arrived at Lwdaiya Prison in Marrakech on Thursday to start serving her sentence, after being arrested on Wednesday evening by judicial police in Casablanca in coordination with their counterparts in Marrakech. Last month, the Court of Cassation in Rabat rejected Batma's request to overturn her one-year prison sentence after proving her connection to the "Hamza Montbibi" account.
It is worth noting that the case began years ago when an unidentified individual created an account on the Snapchat application targeting Moroccan female artists by "exposing some of their dubious practices and relationships with Gulf men," which caused significant outrage in the country. Dounia Batma and her sister Ibtissam were accused of managing the account, leading to Ibtissam's imprisonment for a full year.
