Exciting developments in the trial of Sheikha Al-Trax, Mart Khoha, and Mai Naima Al-Badwiya—they’ve been hit hard!

The Marrakesh Court of First Instance has seen significant developments in the case against the folk singer “Sheikha Al-Trax” and her brother’s wife “Heba,” who are currently being held in pretrial detention at Al-Oudaya Prison, following a decision by the Public Prosecutor’s Office stemming from family disputes that were leaked to social media, as well as complaints of mutual insults, slander, and defamation, in addition to offensive recordings targeting residents of the Sidi Youssef Ben Ali neighborhood. The courtroom was filled with tension following the admission of the “Zero Triviality” association as a civil party, with Al-Taraks displaying intense emotional distress while answering the judge’s questions, while the second defendant suffered a physical and psychological breakdown. The court decided to postpone a ruling on the case until the October 21 hearing in order to prepare the courtroom with the necessary technical equipment to present the digital evidence, audio recordings, and videos attributed to both parties. The next hearing is expected to feature heated legal exchanges between the defendants’ defense attorneys and the civil plaintiffs before the presiding court rules on the charges against them.
Meanwhile, the controversial YouTuber “May Naima al-Badwiya” faces new legal proceedings, the date of which will be set next week, after the “Zero Triviality” group filed a lawsuit against her following her return to online activity by posting videos with her face obscured; which activists viewed as a violation and a blatant defiance of the previous court ruling that completely barred her from engaging in any activity on social media platforms, whether through her own channels or those of others.
