One of his lawyers announced it Thursday, September 12th. This figure of protests that has lasted for seven months and prompted former President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to start, has been charged with "undermining the morale of the army."

After several hours, without any news, Karim Tabbou's relatives learned of his detention in Kolea prison, a few kilometers from Algiers. Indicted for " undermining the morale of the army ", he faces a sentence of 5 to 10 years in prison.

It was in front of his home that this opponent was arrested the day before by men in civilian clothes who presented themselves as " security agents " told AFP, Mustapha Bouchachi, one of his lawyers.

The arrest of Karim Tabbou provoked a wave of outrage, particularly on Algerian social networks. On Facebook, Mohcine Belabbas, president of the Rally for Culture and Democracy, talks about " taking hostage. The tolerable threshold was once again exceeded, "he concludes. " The rule of law respects freedom of speech. A political personality at the stops is the condemnation of democracy, "writes in turn on Twitter Soufiane Jilali, party founder Jil Jadid.

Last night, another video became viral: that of the father of Karim Tabbou who asks his son's support " not to leave the path he has taken because it is a path of peace ."
