VOICED: Morocco bans French and Moroccan newspapers

The video discusses the controversy surrounding the seizure of 100,000 copies of the French language magazine Telquel and its Arabic version Nishan by Moroccan authorities. This action coincided with the 10th anniversary of King Mohammed VI's rule. The French daily Le Monde, which published the survey results, was also banned. The seizure was seen as counterproductive, as it highlighted Morocco's censorship rather than the positive survey results showing 91% support for the king. The incident raised questions about Morocco's democratic status and press freedom.
