A French-Algerian content creator was arrested at Marrakech Menara Airport after posting a critical video about Morocco, including allegations about unsafe roads and police conduct. The arrest is certainly attention-grabbing, but I am not ready to jump to conclusions just yet.
The woman, Yass Naubelle, was reportedly detained on June 13, 2026, as she was preparing to board a flight back to France. Moroccan authorities allege that her online posts contained defamatory statements toward Moroccan citizens and insulting claims about a public institution.
The video criticized driving conditions in Marrakech and alleged that some public officials accepted bribes or showed favoritism in enforcing traffic laws. The video reportedly included complaints about dangerous roads, cars and mopeds swerving in traffic, children riding without helmets, and police stopping women.
