Interview English

Maati Monjib (Moroccan historian, journalist, press-freedom activist) — statement to RSF after his 2021 conviction on "state security"/money-laundering charges that rights groups call fabricated: "This conviction is doubly unjust… [we committed] no crime except exercise our right to freedom of expression and association." Jailed and hunger-struck.

This conviction is doubly unjust because neither my fellow defendants nor I have ever threatened 'internal state security' or committed any other crime except exercise our right to freedom of expression and association.
