Hunger-striking Moroccan journalist Ali Lamrabet, in jail since May 21 for insulting King Mohammed VI, was rushed to hospital for medical treatment in a very weak state on Monday, international media rights group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said.
"He hasn't been able to drink since yesterday. He vomits everything. He finds it very difficult to speak. He can't move anymore," said RSF, quoting a doctor from the hospital.
Ali Lamrabet, on an unlimited hunger strike since May 6, represents RSF in Morocco.
The editor-in-chief of satirical magazines Demain and Doumane was jailed for four years after publishing articles on issues including a parliamentary vote on the king's civil list, the royal palace's budget, and a cartoon on the history of slavery. (Albawaba.com)
