Algeria Highlights
Freedom of AssemblyThree Algerian rights activists were arrested, sentenced to prison, and handed down a fine for participating in demonstrations protesting the rising percentage of unemployment and the declining rate of economic development in the province of Ouargla in eastern Algeria.
Fatma-Zohra Amara was previously sentenced to two months in prison for libel, but had the sentence reduced to a fine on appeal.
