A court in Casablanca has given two Moroccan journalists suspended sentences of three years for defaming Islam and breaching public morality.

The journalists' weekly magazine, Nichane, had published an article entitled How Moroccans laugh at religion, sex and politics.

The court banned publication of the magazine for two months and fined Driss Ksikes and Sanaa al-Aji about $8,000.

The journalists said the jokes they published were in common usage.

Their lawyer says they plan to appeal against the sentence.
