Amazigh blogger freed from Moroccan prison

2010-04-08

Jailed Amazigh activist and blogger Boubaker Elyadib was released from prison earlier this week by an appellate court in the southern Moroccan town of Guelmim, Errachidia News reported on Wednesday (April 7th). Elyadib received a 6-month sentence on charges relating to last December's student demonstration in Taghjijt. He has asserted that he only attended the protest to cover it on his blog.

After Elyadib's release, Amazigh Observatory for Rights and Freedoms (OADL) Director Hitous Abdellah thanked Moroccan bloggers and defenders of human rights for their support.
