lemrabet stops his hunger strike

Some interesting developments in the Ali Lemrabet case. The journalist has decided to end his hunger strike (started 47 days ago) shortly after a visit from a cousin of the King. It’s a bit early to tell, but I suspect this latest development could signal a royal pardon, which would free Lemrabet and put an end to a freedom of expression case that has caused a lot of embarassment for the Moroccan government.
