Omar Radi

Omar Radi is a Moroccan investigative journalist who has faced repeated arrest and harassment at the hands of Moroccan authorities. In March 2022, Omar was sentenced to six years in prison in a double case of espionage and rape – charges that human rights and press freedom organizations condemned as false and brought as punishment for his investigative work. Radi was freed in July 2024 after being pardoned by King Mohammed VI along with other jailed journalists and activists.
