The Algerian Supreme Court on Thursday rejected appeals by imprisoned Maghreb Emergent and Radio M owner Ihsane El Kadi, a prominent figure in the nation's pro-democracy movement.
El Kadi is one of hundreds of people associated with Algeria's pro-democracy movement who have faced criminal charges and imprisonment, including Mustapha Bendjama, another journalist. El Kadi's website and radio station emerged as key channels during the North African nation's 2019 Hirak protests.
In April, a court in Algiers gave him a 7-year sentence that included three years in prison and ordered his website and radio station shut down. The sentence was part of a growing list of criminal penalties given to journalists, reflecting the increasing difficulties they face throughout North Africa.
