From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Driss Ksikes is a Moroccan journalist. He was a former editor-in-chief of the francophone Tel Quel magazine. Since 2006, he has been the editor-in-chief and director of publication of the arabophone and darijophone Nichane magazine.
In December 2006, Ksikes and another journalist, Sanaa al-Aji, were prosecuted for "defaming Islam and damaging morality" after the publication of a joke referring to Islamic religion, the prophet Muhammad and Hassan II, the late king of Morocco. They face jail sentences of three to five years if convicted. The verdict is expected towards the end of January 2007. [1]
