RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Morocco on Friday revoked the accreditation of a journalist working for the French news agency AFP after he wrote an article linking the palace to a political party competing in by-elections.
An official statement carried by the state news agency described the AFP article about a parliamentary special election in the northern city of Tangiers as “unprofessional” for carrying allegations that the institution of the monarchy was involved in elections.
