Algerian blogger faces terrorism charges
2013-10-13
[MAGHAREBIA] A 24-year-old Algerian faces charges of "contempt" and "defending terrorism" over cartoons posted on Facebook, El Watan reported on Thursday (October 10th).

Tlemcen native Abdelghani Aloui was incarcerated
Please don't kill me!
September 25th for allegedly ridiculing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika
... 10th president of Algeria. He was elected in 1999 and is currently on his third or fourth term, who will probably die in office of old age...
and Prime Minister Abdelmalik Sellal in the Facebook posts.

The terrorism charge is related to a scarf found by the police in Aloui's home. It was inscribed with the phrase "La Illah illa Allah", his lawyer Amine Sidhoum told AFP on Wednesday.
