Omar Radi : “Let’s not forget, nor forgive“
In detention since July the 29th in Oukacha prison, Casablanca, after a series of violent political and media harassment, the investigative journalist Omar radi has become a symbol of freedom of expression struggle. His crime, nothing else than expressing freely his opinion towards human rights violations and corruption, through his investigations in which he committed to an extent of independence and integrity.
We dedicated this website to denounce the injustices he’s subject to, which is the case of several other journalists and activists going through the same treatment. United, we want these practices to stop.
