AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL > URGENT ACTION > JOURNALIST HELD FOR ARTICLE ON AQIM VIDEO

Moroccan authorities have arrested and detained independent journalist and editor Ali Anouzla, a well known critic of government policies. 

He is a prisoner of conscience, held for an article published on his news website about a video released by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). 

He has been detained without charge since 17 September and is believed to be held under Morocco’s draconian anti-terrorism law.
