Ibtissame Lachgar is accused of posting a photo wearing a shirt that is offensive to Islam, and writing a caption that was also insulting to the religion.
The Public Prosecutor's Office at the Rabat Court of First Instance in Morocco announced she was taken into police custody on Sunday, as authorities investigate the photo.
'Following a woman’s posting of a photo on her social media account, which depicts her wearing a shirt with phrases offensive to the divine, along with a caption insulting Islam, the public prosecutor ordered an investigation,' its statement said.
'Due to its urgency, the subject has been placed under police custody in accordance with the law.'
Lachgar is a developmental psychologist as well as a feminist and atheist activist who has organised a number of protests in Morocco about women's rights, LGBTQ+ issues and male violence.
In 2013, Lachgar was one of the organisers of a public 'kiss-in' in Rabat in support of three teenagers who were arrested for posting a photo of themselves kissing on Facebook.
A boy and girl, aged 15 and 14, alongside their 15-year-old male friend, were charged with 'violating public decency' and held in a juvenile centre after posting the photo outside their school in the northern town of Nador, local media reported.
At the demonstration protesting against conservatism in Moroccan society, the activists locked lips outside the parliament building in the capital city.
In 2012, as part of her pro-choice advocacy, Lachgar invited the Women on Waves' abortion boat to anchor in Morocco as a symbolic protest against anti-abortion laws.
The boat, purportedly offering medical abortions as well as advice, was manned by a Dutch campaign group who advocate for reproductive rights for women in countries where abortion is not legal.
The boat started its journey from the Netherlands and was scheduled to dock at the port of Smir before it was blocked by authorities.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
