A Moroccan blogger has been sentenced to a fine and two years imprisonment for criticising the king. On his web-site Hespress, Mohamed Erraji wrote that the Moroccan population has little self-respect because the regime has created a culture of dependency, whereby loyalty is rewarded with favours.Mr Erraji was arrested on Friday and tried on Monday. His family says no lawyer was present at the trial. Journalists organisation Reporters Without Borders is demanding his release. The blogger comes from a poor family and has bad health. He has been writing about political and social issues under his own name since March 2007.
