French-Moroccan journalist Ali Lmrabet is released from custody in Morocco as an investigation continues. Multiple reports say he is detained after arriving in the country, with his arrest taking place at Tangier’s airport on Sunday, 12 July, following his return from Spain. Authorities hold him under suspicion related to online postings. The public prosecutor cites allegations that Lmrabet published digital content described as “defamatory and insulting.” One report also references accusations linked to “publication of false information.” Lmrabet is kept in custody and a period of detention is extended by 24 hours, according to reporting from Le Monde Afrique. After being held in detention, he is later freed, with the case still under investigation. Lmrabet, who is known for critical positions toward Morocco’s monarchy and institutions, says he faces reproaches related to alleged defamation. The articles indicate that an eventual trial remains possible, but do not confirm that charges have been formally brought to court.
