Moroccan Islamist leader arrested for adultery

The judicial police in the Moroccan city of Fez stormed a house in al-Wafaa Street in the el-Narges district Wednesday after receiving a communiqué from one of the citizens informing them of the presence of a stranger in his house, accompanying the wife of a famous leader of the outlawed Justice and Charity Movement. Both were found in a suspicious situation, and this occurred after this stranger repeated his visits to the house. The Justice and Charity movement prohibits the mixing between sexes. According to a statement by the state security of Fez, the female suspect was arrested because she was found in a stranger's home without being related to him, in full respect of the legal requirements and under the supervision of the competent public prosecutor. The Public prosecutor also said that the two suspects will be handed to the court once the investigation procedures are completed. The Justice and Charity movement said: "Hind Zarrouk has been abducted in the city of Fez by elements dressed in civilian clothes, in reference to the Moroccan Security service, stressing that immediately after her abduction she called her husband Abdullah Bella telling him of her abduction, but the communication between them was cut and was not able to get in touch with him again. Hind Zarrouk is a university professor and coordinator of the families of seven detainees of al-Adl Wal Ihsan (Justice and Charity Movement). The movement confirms that Zarrouk has been suffering from harassments of these kinds for a while now.
