Algerian court has provisionally released a key protest movement leader, Karim Tabbou, aged 47 and three other jailed activists. Tabbou is one of the best-known figures of the Hirak movement that forced the downfall of longtime President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in April 2019.
He was jailed in September 2019 accused of attacking the integrity of the national territory and also faced a charge of “damaging the morale of the army”, in a trial which has been postponed until September 14.
Two activists were released on Thursday while the third one had already reached home as claimed by the Lawyer Abderahmane Salah. Tabbou’s lawyer, Abdelghani Badi, also asked for the end of judicial proceedings against him.
