Morocco's civil rights and journalists have demanded the release of a journalist arrested on suspicion of having sex with a man while she was unmarried.
Both charges, Hajar Raissouni is charged with felony under the laws of Morocco.
Hajar's defense lawyer denied all allegations and said she had gone to the hospital to see a gynecologist as a result of her bleeding.
The journalist was arrested last week on charges of unmarried pregnancy and abortions.
The teenager is also detained by Hajar and her three colleagues, where they are being investigated or the facts will be uncovered.
They are expected to be arraigned in court on Monday.
Hajar is a journalist working for Akhbar Al-Yaoum Press and has written widely on opposition issues.
Amnesty International said the arrest was linked to the newspaper's work, but prosecutors denied it.
