Algeria constitutional revisions begin with press reform
2011-05-05
[Maghrebia] Algeria's Council of Ministers on Monday (May 2nd) approved a draft amendment to the Penal Code that decriminalises press offences, APS reported. In another press reform move, Algeria will also launch a large-scale campaign to train and support journalists, Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika
... 10th president of Algeria. He was elected in 1999 and is currently on his third term, which is probably why Algerians are ready to dump him...
 said Tuesday in a speech marking World Press Freedom Day.

On Monday, Bouteflika appointed senate speaker Abdelkader Bensalah to lead a new constitutional revision panel. The committee will meet with political parties, unions, and other civil society actors to discuss the proposed Algerian constitutional amendments.
