Moroccan Christian jailed for “shaking the faith of a Muslim”

A Moroccan Christian man has been jailed for two-and-a-half years and fined for evangelising.

Mohamed el Baldi, 34, from the town of Ain Aicha, near Fes, was ordered to pay 5000 dirhams (£377) for "shaking the faith of a Muslim", at a court hearing on September 3.
