After singer Jennifer Lopez performed in Morocco last May wearing some revealing outfit on stage and on TV, there were media regulators that complained about her act. She was reported to be acting inappropriately on stage and filed charges against her for her performance that was broadcast on TV.
The government then decided not to sanction the network that aired her performance. The Daily Star reported that the regulator in Morocco who handles this issues refused to sanction the TV channel who was responsible for going on with the airing of Jennifer Lopez's concert despite of her wearing some scantily outfit and doing some inappropriate dance moves. Lots of women were said to be offended by her act and her concert was viewed by 2 million people.
Morocco is a Muslim country and it is strict when it comes to this issue of the kind of entertainment that is just normal in Hollywood. Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane requested to sanction the TV network behind J.Lo's performance, but the regulator on this department was adamant on rejecting that request.
The Daily Nation said that the spokesman of the Moroccan government, Mustapha Khalfi was also firm in denouncing the broadcast of J.Lo's show. He said that it is "unacceptable and goes against broadcasting law". The Prime Minister however was looking like a little bit considerate of J.Lo's situation that he sent a letter to High Audiovisual Communication Authority (HACA) to take action against he network and its management. HACA on the other hand rejected Benkirane's request and according to a statement they have on their website, this issue is out of their scope or job description. Their mission statement apparently does not include sanctioning TV networks that violate their country's values. As of now, there are no news regarding the charges they have against the singer.
