Mustapha Adib (activist)

On 18 June 2014, Mustapha Adib visited the Val-de-Grâce, the hospital where general Abdelaziz Bennani was following treatment in France. He tried to visit the general but was not authorised to access the room, after which he left him a bouquet of cheap flowers and a message, in which he accused Bennani of being a criminal responsible for the deaths of thousands of people, the impoverishment of thousands of deceased soldiers children and a corrupt who stole state's assets. Bennani is mired in suspicions of high-level corruption according to various sources, including leaked US diplomatic cables.

On 20 June 2014, Mustapha Adib was briefly placed in custody by the French gendarmerie, apparently as a response to the protests from Moroccan officials. He was released on the same day, after which he announced that he would sue Abdelaziz Bennani, king Mohammed VI and thirty other Moroccan officials.

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

Mustapha Adib was stationed in Errachidia and was in charge of Telecommunications maintenance in the Moroccan Air Forces, there he witnessed theft of fuel by high-ranking officials of the military. 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.

Mustapha Adib (Arabic: مصطفى أديب; born 1968 in Taroudannt) is an ex-captain in the Royal Moroccan Air Force. In late 1999, he was arbitrarily detained then imprisoned for 30 months after he denounced corruption in the military.
