Moroccan historian and rights activist Maati Monjib, who has been on a hunger strike for 19 days, will be granted provisional release after three months in prison, his lawyer said Tuesday. "The investigating judge has decided to provisionally release him on bail, and steps are underway to get him out of prison," said Mohamed Messaoudi, adding that his client's health was "good even though he has lost 12 kilos" (26 pounds). ko-sof/dv/lg
