Fouad Mourtada Released?
By Curt on Mar 18, 2008 in Morocco, Fouad Mourtada, Facebook
Update: RSF also reports that Fouad is free.

Global Voices asserts that Fouad Mourtada has been released from prison with a “full royal pardon.” If this is true, it’s fantastic news for Fouad. Not great news for free speech or Morocco, though, that it took a royal pardon. Can anyone confirm this?
Mourtada was sentenced to three years in prison for creating a fake Facebook profile of his country’s crown prince. Facebook claimed not to have assisted in identifying Fouad.
