[MAGHAREBIA] Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal on Sunday (March 17th) called for a series of urgent measures to prevent and punish the kidnapping of children, APS reported. According to Interior Minister Daho Ould Kablia, the new measures - including stiffer penalties - will be announced this week.
The move was spurred by the murder of two school children last week in Constantine. On Sunday, thousands of Constantine citizens marched to show solidarity with the families of the victims and to demand justice.
