..in Morocco.An 18 year old fan – Yassine Belassal – is facing 12 months in jail because he altered the phrase “God, The Nation, The King” on his school blackboard to read “God, The Nation, Barcelona”. Can you believe this ?
Belassal changed the saying as a joke, but the headmaster of his school at Ait Ourir, near Marrakesh, did not see the funny side. He reported the matter to police and Belassal was charged with insulting the king Mohammed VI — a criminal offence — and jailed last month.
Barcelona fans are asking their club to do something but what can they do ?
