Abraham Serfaty

Abraham Serfaty (Arabic: أبراهام السرفاتي, romanized: Abrāhām as-Sarfātī‎; 16 January 1926 – 18 November 2010) was a Moroccan Marxist-Leninist dissident, militant and political activist. He was imprisoned for years by King Hassan II of Morocco, for his political actions in favor of democracy, during the Years of Lead. He paid a high price for such actions: fifteen months living underground, seventeen years of imprisonment and eight years of exile. He returned to Morocco in September 1999.
