In France, a mobilization for the release of Khaled Drareni gathered about twenty people Wednesday in front of the Algerian embassy in Paris. Three years in prison were required against the Algerian journalist for, among other things, "attacking the integrity of the national territory" after having covered, on March 7 in Algiers, a demonstration during the Covid-19 epidemic.
