Omar Radi (Arabic: ع٠ر اÙراضÙ) is a Moroccan investigative journalist and human rights activist. He has worked at Lakome, Atlantic Radio, Media 24, TelQuel and Le Desk and volunteered for the citizen media Mamfakinch, focusing on investigations about human rights, corruption and social movements. Radi's arrest in December 2019 for a tweet criticizing a judge sparked widespread condemnation from human rights organizations. In 2020, he was accused of espionage and later sentenced to six years in prison in a case that drew international attention for its alleged political motivations. He was pardoned and released in July 2024.
