Mouad Belaghouat (
Arabic: معاذ بلغوات; born in 1988), better known as L7a9d or El Haqed (الحاقد), is a Moroccan rapper and human rights activist who rose to prominence when he was imprisoned for criticising Mohammed VI, the king of Morocco.[1][2][3]
After two years in prison, he was released in 2013. In February 2014, he issued the album Waloo.[4]
On 13 February 2014, the police raided a library where Belaghouat was holding a press conference, in which he intended to present his new album.[4]
Third imprisonment
On 18 May 2014, L7a9d was arrested again at the entrance of the
Moghreb Tetouan, and police officers arrested him, claiming he was selling tickets on the black market, an accusation which he denied. Additionally, the police pressed charges against him for allegedly beating four officers during the event.[5]
In September 2014, L7a9d was nominated by the
Israel's bombing of Gaza.[6]
