Abdelkhalek Torres (Arabic: عبد الخالق الطريس; 1910 – May 27, 1970) was a Moroccan journalist and nationalist leader based in Tetouan, Morocco during the Spanish protectorate of Morocco era.
He co-founded an arabophone newspaper entitled (الحرية Freedom) along with Abdesalam Bennuna.[1]
Torres's 1934 play Intissar al haq (The Victory of the Right), "is still considered the first published Moroccan play," according to scholar Kamal Salhi.[2]
His political activity from the 1930s on culminated in the independence of Morocco in 1956.[3][4][5] In his later years, Torres served first as ambassador to Spain and Egypt, and then as Minister of Justice.[6]
