Moroccan activist and historian Maati Monjib has declared that he has begun a hunger strike following his prohibition from travel.
In an announcement about himself, he stated

Monjib disclosed that Sorbonne University had extended an invitation to him for a talk about “The Arab Spring in Tunisia: 2011-2021.” Nevertheless, when he reached Rabat-Salé Airport today, he was not allowed to depart, even though he held a legitimate ticket and passport.
“I want to inform everyone that I’ve been prohibited from travel since 2020, and my vehicle, home, and financial accounts have been confiscated for over four years,” he stated additionally.
Monjib was among the activists who received a royal pardon on Throne Day the previous year. He has faced two distinct legal proceedings. In 2015, he was originally handed a sentence of one and a half years for allegations concerning “endangering national security.” His second legal issue arose in 2021, resulting in his arrest as part of an inquiry into “money-laundering” accusations; however, he was subsequently freed awaiting further court action.
In his posting, Monjib condemned his travel ban as a “breach of legal boundaries and the royal pardon.” Referencing Article 160 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, he noted that such restrictions and judicial oversight should not exceed two months initially but can be renewed up to four additional times for a total of ten months maximum. In his view, since this limit wasn’t adhered to in his situation, the ruling became unlawful and unwarranted. Furthermore, he argued that because these proceedings were politically motivated, they involved false and contrived accusations against him,” he penned.
Monjib has previously undertaken multiple hunger strikes, with the latest one occurring in 2023, against his suspension from his role as a university professor.

KUALA LUMPUR – The Muslim community is experiencing growing divisions, which is particularly noticeable in Malaysia.
Amidst escalating political battles and self-serving agendas, Datuk Hussamuddin Yaacub, the founder of Warisan Ummah Ikhlas Foundation (WUIF), has urged leaders to set aside their pride and focus on fostering unity instead.
Addressing the 10th anniversary of the World #QuranHour 2025 event today, he encouraged leaders to contemplate the messages from the Quran and collaborate for the collective well-being.
Alhamdulillah, today signifies ten years since the inception of World #QuranHour. Our aim is to elevate this endeavor, extending its influence onto a global stage.
“While engagement has expanded beyond Malaysia’s borders, it continues to predominantly be a national movement. It would be ideal if this idea achieves wider international acknowledgment,” he stated when approached following the event, today.
Even with its achievements, only a few nations like Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore, and India have embraced this initiative.
Hussamuddin emphasized that the main objective was to bring together all segments of the Muslim world.
“We observe fellow Muslims involved in disputes, hurling insults at each other and circulating malicious gossip. By reciting and contemplating (tadabbur) Surah As-Saff, we are prompted to remember the critical importance of scholars and the broader Muslim community joining forces in harmony,” he further stated.
He appealed to Malay Islamic leaders in Malaysia to set aside their individual aspirations and political differences, encouraging them to focus instead on the collective well-being of the ummah.
He mentioned it was crucial to discover a method for cooperation, to step back from conflicts of power, and to gather around the same table for substantial conversations.
More than just arranging an yearly gathering, World #QuranHour is a movement crafted to ignite a greater understanding and appreciation of the Quran amongst Muslims globally.
The movement’s ultimate aim is to engage two billion Muslims, thereby laying the groundwork for the resurgence and empowerment of Islamic countries.
The event hosted at the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Mosque located within the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) campus in Gombak today, witnessed the attendance of Tengku Ampuan Pahang Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.
At 11:55 am, Her Majesty reached the mosque premises alongside Bandar Tun Razak MP and the Prime Minister’s spouse, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. Other notable figures joining them included the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department for Religious Affairs, Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar, among others of similar stature.
Hussamuddin mentioned that the organization has managed to maintain this effort for ten years despite being a modest NGO, yet he emphasized that for the movement to really thrive, it needed backing from the government.
He mentioned that if the authorities got involved, the initiative could expand even more.
He pointed out that by working together with the IIUM, which boasts more than 100 alumni chapters across the globe, along with utilizing governmental connections via institutions such as Wisma Putra, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Higher Education, and the Ministry of Religious Affairs, this initiative could genuinely make a worldwide difference.
He mentioned that Malaysia could potentially be acknowledged as the originator of this movement.
He similarly called upon the Prime Minister and pertinent ministries to earnestly back this initiative.
We encourage them to examine the program, grasp its intent, and acknowledge our progress up to this point.
“If the administration supplies the crucial ‘thrust’ for this campaign and IIUM serves as the launching pad, we can elevate this effort to extraordinary heights,” he stated.
After dedicating many years to this initiative, Hussamuddin realized that his tenure as leader could be coming to an end soon. That’s why he wished for genuine governmental backing of the movement.
“The backing we get at present is minimal, even though this is an international effort brimming with vast potential. The moment has come to bring World Quran Hour onto the world platform,” he further stated.
This year, World #QuranHour 2025 was themed around ‘Preserving the Ummah,’ highlighting the significance of solidarity in maintaining the faith of Allah SWT.
The 10th iteration of the World #QuranHour 2025 event gathered numerous attendees via their presence at the primary location, live TV transmissions, and online streaming.
Moreover, this year’s event saw registrations from 1,370 sites within the nation and 25 additional sites located in 19 different foreign countries.
