Mustapha Adib (Template:Lang-ar; born 1968 in Taroudant)[1] is a Moroccan human rights activist and ex captain of the Royal Moroccan Air Force who has been imprisoned for 30 months in the early 2000s, after he denounced corruption in the military.

Imprisonment

Mustapha Adib was stationed in Errachidia and was in charge of the maintenance of telecommunication in the Moroccan Air Forces, there he witnessed theft of fuel by high ranking official in the military.[2] In late 1998, he wrote a letter to Mohammed VI (then crown prince) denouncing the corruption he saw. He was prosecuted for the same acts he denounced but was at first acquitted. He was later received by the new commander of the Air Force, Ahmed Boutaleb and after insisting on having the corrupt officials prosecuted he was condemned in 2000 to 30 months in prison.[2]

After he left prison, he was harassed in the army and was forced to quit. He left the army and settled in Paris where he obtained an engineering degree. He has since became a vocal human rights activist and opponent to the regime of Mohammed VI.[3]

In 2000, he was awarded the Transparency International Integrity award.[4]
