Teen Sweethearts Arrested For Facebook Kiss

Two lovestruck Moroccan teenagers will face court for posting a picture of themselves kissing on Facebook.

The school sweethearts - aged 14 and 15 - had their picture snapped by a friend in the north-eastern town of Nador and posted it to the social network, the BBC reported.

But a local newspaper got hold of the photo and printed a copy, calling it an outrage to public decency, and the pair were arrested. They are set to appear before a juvenile court next week.
