Moroccan editor Rachid Nini has been arrested as "a threat to national security", his independent newspaper, Al-Massae, has reported.
The prosecutor, Abdullah al-Balghaithi, announced a string of charges against Nini, such as "denigrating judicial rulings" and "compromising the security and safety of the homeland and citizens."
Nini has been an outspoken critic of many government policies and has written about corruption among government officials.
He has also called on numerous occasions for the annulment of Morocco's anti-terrorism law and for increased political freedom.
