    So what? What’s wrong with the implementation of Moroccan laws in the Moroccan land ?
    As I see it, there is nothing despotic or illegal in this sentence .
    It is the law of the land and nobody should ignore it.
    Every freedom, every right impose duties to be respected
    and obeyed. Hormatallah got punished because he didn’t do his duty and his homework.
    So they sent him to his room I mean to his cell to think about it.It is as simple as that. Every good parent punishes his child that behaves badly.
