Our guest this morning is Moroccan historian, journalist and human rights activist Maâti Monjib.
This academic has been the object for several weeks of a new campaign of insults, police pressure and threats.
President of the Freedom Now association for press freedom, he has been prosecuted, along with six other journalists and human rights activists, since 2015 for "undermining state security".
A trial already postponed 19 times and whose next hearing is set for Thursday, October 1.
Several hundred Moroccan and foreign academics supported him in a column published in the press last year.
Maâti Monjib answers Carine Frenk's questions.
