A Moroccan woman will face charges for the contempt of court for disrupting court proceedings.

ABD, 25, insulted the court after hearing her sentence for a previous case. ABD initially appeared before the court on accusation of forging an official document in medical test form. She identified herself as Lubna Hassan Abu Hassoun. She was hiding her identity to avoid criminal records and mislead justice.

The presiding judge of the case awarded her one year of imprisonment followed by deportation after she serves her sentence.

After the sentence was read out to her, ABD yelled at the judge and the police officers present in the court. She also insulted the judge called him a "rotten Egyptian."

She did not agree to the sentence and protested saying she had done nothing wrong. When the women police officers tried to restrain her she dared them to touch her and abused them.

The judge will now take her to the prosecution court on charges of insulting the court.
