Aboubakr Jamai is the publisher of Morocco's groundbreaking weekly newspaper Le Journal Hebdomadaire and its sister publication, Assahifa al-Ousbouiya.

For many Moroccan journalists, the publications are the first truly independent newspapers in the country. Close.

Outsourcing torture to countries of the MENA region is an insult to people in those countries, and the idea that people are used to be tortured there, is totally false .No one is used to humiliation. Democracy is taking place in moroccan heads and it's an irreversible reaction.

I thank the WP for giving a great Moroccan editor, a chance to go global. Online media and blogs are playing huge roles in exposing human rights abuse and supporting victims of torture. I hope this trend will continue especially in countries like ours (Morocco) where torture is a common practice and the Internet is gradually being censured.

Mr. Aboubakr:

As a Moroccan I highly appreciate the integrity of your newspaper. I understand that it is not a cake walk to expose our government abuses but rest assured that the people will always be behind you.

The shameful Moroccan government has been cooperating with the US government in terms of outsourcing torture to Morocco.

This immoral practiced must be stopped and exposed.
