PARIS (AP) - A Moroccan computer engineer who was imprisoned for creating a fake Facebook profile of King Mohammed VI's younger brother said Wednesday he only did it out of admiration for the prince.
Fouad Mourtada, 26, told The Associated Press that he was "fine" after the monarch granted him a pardon that led to his release Tuesday from a prison in Sale, Morocco. He thanked supporters who campaigned for his release.
Mourtada was sentenced last month to three years in prison for "usurping" the identity of Prince Moulay Rachid by creating a profile of him on the popular networking site. He was arrested early last month.
