Algeria has a "hardening of the climate monitoring" of the population and civil society since 2009. That is what points to the Observatory for the Protection of Defenders of Human Rights - a body established by the International Federation of Human Rights - in its 2010 report, Published Monday, September 13. This hardening affects particularly the press, denounced the Observatory gives examples of French newspapers (L'Express, Marianne and the Journal du Dimanche) banned during the 2009 presidential election and the two Moroccan journalists arrested in the same period, interviewed and released after ; intervention of the Embassy of Morocco.
Journalists are also covered when investigating corruption cases. The observatory denounced the "harassment" against them. He cites several cases, notably that of Hafnaoui Ghoul, head of the section of the LADDH has Djelfa, south of Algiers, and a reporter for the daily al-Wasat, assaulted after an investigation into the actions of some members of the wilaya, whose complaint was never heard by the court and have even been convicted diffamation.L organization also emits strong reservations about the law on cybercrime, passed in June 2009 whose "very general provisions allow fear to use this law to monitor and suppress the activities of human rights."
The Observatory also condemns the "undermined" the freedom of association, which particularly affects associations working to shed light on the disappearance of the black decade. He noted that SOS Disappeared (s) has still not received his approval, like AMEDJ in Jijel. Generally, all actors in activating the defense of human rights are subject to difficulties in Algeria, said the observatory, which points the finger at particular bans meetings. "The Algerian authorities have continued to prohibit frequent meetings on issues of human rights, thus violating Article 19 of the Constitution, which guarantees freedom of peaceful assembly ", is it noted in the report.
This was for example the case for the symposium on "the memory of the victims to rebuild a society, organized in the home unions in Algiers by the Coalition of Associations of Victims of State and victims terrorism including SOS-Disappeared (s), "Somoud", "Djazairouna", the Collective of Families of the Disappeared (s) in Algeria (CFDA) and the Federation of Euro-Mediterranean cons Disappearance (FEMED). Same for LADH who could organize Zéralda training on the role of journalist in protecting human rights. "In some cases, the difficulties are far more serious. The Observatory denounces the "intimidation" and "judicial harassment" against Kamel Eddine Fekhar, activist LADDH Ghardaia, causing the ; appeal to the formalization of ritual Ibadite in Algeria. "His arrest was due to his activities for the recognition of the rights of citizens Mozabites," writes the Observatory. Finally, the report strongly criticizes the "obstacles to freedom of association and judicial harassment against trade unionists "who that" in 2009, freedom of association has continued to not be ensured. "
Observatory denounced the "pressure" demands placed on people wanting to create a union, like Zaid Yassin, licensed, and plagued by several complaints from his former company. It also points to the repression against peaceful rallies organized by the unions "scattered, sometimes brutal forces of order".
