Morocco's government has seized copies of two magazines, the Arabic language Nichane (Forthright) and its Francophone sister publication TelQuel (As it is). They were confiscated because certain articles were alleged to be disrespectful of the king and public morality. Ahmed Reda Benchemsi, who edits both magazines, was arrested by police in Casablanca and remains in custody. His editorial called coming elections meaningless because the king, Mohamed VI, wields near total power. (Via San Jose Mercury News)
