Morocco's King Pardons 2,476 Convicts, Including Journalists and Activists Charged with Sex Crimes
Jul 30, 2024, 12:16 AM
Morocco's King Mohammed VI has ordered the release of three jailed journalists, Taoufik Bouachrine, Omar Radi, and Soulaimane Raisouni, as part of a broader pardon initiative. The pardon, which benefits 2,476 convicts, includes individuals convicted of extremism and terrorism-related offenses. The journalists, along with other activists, were charged with sex crimes, espionage, and writing about corruption and abuse of power in prosecutions widely condemned by press freedom advocates as retaliation for their critical reporting. The release marks a significant move in Morocco's approach to press freedom and justice.
