A Moroccan investigative journalist was released from prison Sunday after serving a 10-month sentence for adultery in a case that rights groups described as politically driven.
Speaking to reporters after his release, Hicham Mansouri described a violent police raid on his apartment in March, followed by police questioning that largely deviated from the charges he faced.
"They attacked the apartment, breaking down two doors," says Mansouri, a coordinator with the Moroccan Association for Investigative Journalism. "They asked me about my connection with Islamist movements and other activists."
