Maati Monjib

Maati Monjib (Arabic: المعطي منجب, born 6 March 1962) is a Moroccan university professor, journalist, historian, writer and political activist.

He has criticized the monarchy in columns in the foreign press in the past and once ran a center that held meetings that included opposition groups.

[2] In 2015, Monjib was brought to justice along with six other journalists and activists in Morocco, and charged with "threatening national security", before being banned from traveling outside the country, in a case that was widely criticised by human rights groups and was considered as politically motivated.

[4] On 29 December 2020, Monjib was arrested in Rabat for "money laundering and fraud".

[7] Several international groups and organizations contested and campaigned against the "harassment" Monjib faced, including the Committee to Protect Journalists,[8] Amnesty International,[9] and the European Parliament.
