Warrants come as Algeria’s anti-government Hirak protest movement are boosting weekly rallies ahead of June elections.
A court in Algeria has issued arrest warrants for outspoken exiled activists – a former diplomat, a blogger and a journalist – accusing them of seeking to turn a countrywide peaceful protest movement, known as the Hirak, into a violent one. Sunday’s warrants come as Algeria’s anti-government protesters are boosting weekly rallies ahead of June parliamentary elections. Algeria’s President Abdelmadjid Tebboune dissolved Parliament in February as part of his political reforms. The warrants target former diplomat Mohamed Larbi Zeitout, blogger Amir Boukhors, who writes under the name “Amir Dz”, and journalist Hichem Aboud.
