Morocco: Bloggers comment on journalists' arrest
03.08.2007
The attention of Moroccan bloggers turned recently to the latest report by the Committee to Protect Journalists on the state of press freedom in the country. Baraka wrote that "the report accurately describes the contradictions of a power that wants to open itself up, but without giving up the ability to censor the independent press." In his blog on journalism and freedom of speech, Larbi shared his take on the arrest of journalists Abderrahim Ariri and Mustapha Hormatallah for allegedly publishing elements of a classified report from the secret service.
