Freedom of the Press 2007: Algeria

CIHRS highlights key outcomes from the UNHRC session, including the renewal of Syria’s inquiry and continued inaction on human rights violations in Gaza, Algeria, and Egypt.

Rights groups warn that Algeria’s repression of civic space, marked by a brutal crackdown on free expression, is steadily eroding human rights and they call on UNHRC members to act.

“These travel bans are part of a broader campaign of continued harassment of critics of the government, aimed at silencing dissent and eradicating civic space.” — HRW
