Moroccan actor arrested for blasphemy

Police in Morocco say they have detained a well-known actor for making what they call blasphemous comments about Islam.

The Office of National Security says that Rafik Boubker posted a video in which – it says – he appeared in an abnormal state and insulted the sanctity of worship.

Boubker has since posted another video on Instagram, apologising for what he called a mistake, saying he was not in his normal state and was just joking.
