Abstract

In 2012 Amina Filali, a 16-year-old girl from Larache, Morocco was kidnaped, raped, and forced to marry her rapist under Article 475 of the Moroccan penal code. The decision by the courts to impose this law on Amina Filali forced her into an abusive relationship with her ‘husband’ and eventual suicide through the consumption of rat poison. This case was one of the first mediatized criminal events in post-Arab Spring Morocco and produced a domestic and global movement to repeal Article 475 and protect victims of rape. The paper will examine the case of Amina Filali and how digital mediums can be useful in promoting legal changes.

摘要

2012年，来自摩洛哥拉拉奇的16岁女孩Amina Filali被绑架，强奸，并被迫根据摩洛哥刑法第475条与强奸犯结婚。法院决定将此法律强加给阿米娜·菲拉利（Amina Filali），迫使她与她的“丈夫”建立虐待关系，并最终由于食用了鼠药而自杀。此案是阿拉伯之春后摩洛哥发生的首批调解性犯罪事件之一，在国内和全球范围内掀起了废除第475条并保护强奸受害者的运动。本文将研究Amina Filali案，以及数字媒体如何在促进法律变革中有用。
