Ali Lmrabet's Release and Travel Freedom
In a significant development for press freedom in Morocco, journalist Ali Lmrabet, who was apprehended in Tangier on Sunday, has been granted the liberty to travel abroad following his release on Wednesday. This statement was confirmed by his wife, Laura Feliu, on Friday. Despite his release, Lmrabet faces ongoing investigations related to allegations of disseminating false information, which raises concerns about potential future summons by Moroccan authorities. According to Feliu, during Lmrabet's time in police custody in Casablanca, he received proper treatment and medical attention, a stark contrast to the conditions he endured during his initial detention in Tangier. Feliu is now advocating for the termination of the legal proceedings against her husband, emphasizing the need for him to move freely within his own country without the looming threat of further legal action.
