Rabat - Morocco lifted on Thursday a travel ban on Moroccan journalist and historian Maati Monjib, who had been on hanger strike for over 20 days to protest against this sanction.
The 55-year-old historian announced that he had ended the hanger strike this Thursday, after he was informed of the prosecutor of the state’s decision to lift the travel ban on him.
Monjib has been on hunger strike since 7 October after Casablanca airport authorities prevented him from travelling to Norway, where he was due to attend a seminar.
Monjib had said in a previous statement on Wednesday that he would continue his protest until he secures his "right to freedom of movement" and an end to the "continuous harassment" of his family.
A doctor following Monjib's case on Saturday said that he was suffering from repeated heart palpitations and "severe headaches, symptoms that show his neurons have started to be affected" by the hunger strike.
