    • Al Muharrir (

    Arabic: المُحَرِّر; the Liberator or the Editor) was an Arabic-language daily newspaper published in Morocco
    . It was in circulation between December 1974 and June 1981.

    History and profile

    Al Muharrir was first published in December 1974.[1] The daily was the organ of the Socialist Union of Popular Forces party.[2][3] Therefore, it had a socialist leaning[4] and oppositional stance.[5]

    Omar Benjelloun served as the editor-in-chief of the paper who was assassinated on 18 December 1975.[6] Later Mustafa Karchawi assumed the post.[7] Mohammed Abed Al Jabri, a Moroccan critic and academic, was among the significant contributors of the paper from its start in 1964.[1][4] Abdelkerim Mouti was another regular contributor.[8]

    Together with other opposition papers, including Al Alam and L'Opinion, Al Muharrir was frequently suspended during the mid-1970s.[8] The paper ceased publication in June 1981.[9][10] It was succeeded by Al Ittihad Al Ichtiraki which was first published in May 1983.[9][11]
