After the issuance of a 10-year prison sentence.. Saad Lamjarred's father says "My son is wronged"

- The Moroccan artist Bashir Abdo published, through his official Instagram account on Saturday, a photo of himself in front of a courthouse in France, and wrote "My son is wronged," in his first comment on the ruling issued to imprison his son, the artist Saad Lamjarred, for 10 years. An unjust ruling despite all the clear evidence presented by the defense team before the court judge and the public prosecution.

My situation and that of my wife La Nuzha, and Saad's wife and her mother.. The Court of Appeal in Creteil, southeast France, issued a ruling on Saturday sentencing Saad Lamjarred to 10 years in prison; "with an order to place him in custody, on charges of rape accompanied by an aggravating circumstance that he was under the influence of alcohol," according to the French news agency (AFP).

Lamjarred (41 years old) maintains his innocence, and Marie Bourgoburo, one of the Moroccan artist's lawyers, stated that "he will appeal the ruling before the Court of Cassation," according to "AFP."
