THE PLIGHT OF ALGERIAN JOURNALISTS
By Avner Gidron
To the Editors Members of the media are used as pawns between the warring factions. They are caught in the crossfire between Islamist militants, who proclaim that "those who fight with the pen shall die by the sword," and a brutal regime which uses all means possible to control the flow of information and exploits those murders to bolster support for its own counterinsurgency movement. Journalists have no allies in Algeria. One recent case highlights the despicable state of press freedoms in Algeria. On July 4, 1996, Chawki Amari, a cartoonist with the independent French-language daily La Tribune , was arrested in the early morning at his home in Algiers. The police charged that he had "desecrated a national emblem" by drawing a satiric cartoon of the Algerian flag. Under Algeria's penal code, this is a crime warranting a five-to-ten-year prison sentence. His publisher and editor were also tried, and the publisher received a one-year suspended sentence. After being detained for over a month, Amari was given a three-year suspended prison sentence. Since then, the offices of La Tribune have been sealed twice, leading to a de facto suspension of the newspaper.

Algerian government reports Islamic offensive
Special to World Tribune.com MIDDLE EAST NEWSLINE Tuesday, May 15, 2001 CAIRO — Algeria has acknowledged an offensive by Islamic insurgents. Algeria's security services have released details of the latest attacks by Islamic insurgents against both civilians and security forces. This is a departure for the government and military, which in the past rarely referred to attacks by Islamic insurgents. An announcement by the Algerian security agency said 11 people were killed in an attack by Islamic gunmen southeast of the capital Algiers. Seven of those killed near the town of Batna were members of the security forces. The security service said four civilians were massacred by the insurgents. Algerian security officers arrived at the scene and were ambushed by Islamic gunmen about 430 kilometers from Algiers. Security sources said the insurgents had set up a roadblock between Batna and Merouana. Vehicles that stopped were attacked and their passengers killed. Algerian forces have been struck by deadly Islamic attacks over the past month. Last week, 10 security offcers were killed in an ambush in the Berber region in northeastern Algeria.

  • (May 2002) Algeria vs democracy The National Liberation Front (FLN), under the leadership of prime minister Ali Benflis, won the majority in the May 2002 parliamentary elections. The FLN has held power in Algeria ever since Algeria became independent.
    Despite widespread electoral fraud in 1997 and 1999, Algeria is one of the few Arab countries in which people can actually cast a vote (votes are not necessarily counted, but it's a beginning). In 1997 the winner was the National Democratic Rally (RND), president Zeroual's party, followed by the FLN. In 1999 Abdelaziz Bouteflika (leader of the FLN) was elected president (after all other candidates withdrew or were disqualified from the elections). Opposition leaders claim that both elections were flawed, and they are probably right. To protest those "flaws", opposition parties did not participate in this latest election. Neither did the Berbers of the Kabylie province (which are to Algeria what the the Palestinians are to Israel, except they don't blow up civilians).
    150,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed since 1992, when civil war was triggered by a military coup that canceled the parliamentary elections won by the radical Islamist party (at the time, the West tacitly approved the suppression of democratic rule).

In the Name of Allah - the Most Beneficent - the Most Merciful
Extracted from an Article by Robert Fisk, The Independent, UK

The Independent has obtained evidence that thousands of men and women have been "disappeared" by police agents of the military-backed regime in Algeria. And for the first time, members of the Algerian security forces - now seeking asylum in Britain - have given fearful testimony of mass torture by government agents, murder in Algerian police stations and secret burials by the security forces. We all knew it was happening in Algeria. For more than four years, released prisoners had told us of water torture and beatings, of suffocation with rags, of how their nails were ripped out by interrogators, of how women were gang-raped by policemen, of secret executions in police stations. But never before have members of the security forces provided the compelling evidence to prove the brutality of the Algerian regime. And with documentary testimony that thousands - some say as many as 12,000 - men and women have been "disappeared" by a government that claims to be fighting "international terrorism", Algeria's military-backed government will find it hard ever again to win sympathy in the West. A police officer who was in charge of the Algiers' city police armoury has described to The Independent how his colleagues killed prisoners in cold blood, how police torturers suffocated prisoners with acid-soaked rags after tearing out their nails and raping them with bottles. A 30-year old Algiers policewoman has told of how she watched prisoners - at the rate of 12 a day - tied half-naked to ladders in the Cavignac police station in Algiers while, screaming and pleading for mercy, salt water was pumped into their stomachs until they agreed, blindfolded, to sign confessions.

Algeria
Every Killing Must Be Urgently Investigated
AI Index: MDE 28/007/2001
Publish date: 21/08/2001
In the light of a recently published official report into the unlawful killing of over 80 protesters at the hands of the security forces in the Algerian region of Kabylia, Amnesty International has today written to the Algerian authorities to press again for full investigations to be carried out into every killing. Amnesty International welcomes the publication of the Preliminary Report of the National Commission of Inquiry into Events in Kabylia on 28 July 2001. The organization believes that by setting up a commission of inquiry the Algerian authorities took an important first step in the process to investigate the killing of over 80 protesters in Kabylia during the last four months. By making public the commission's initial findings about the circumstances in which these killings occurred, the authorities have taken a crucial confidence-building measure. Amnesty International now urges the Algerian authorities to take the next step of ensuring that full, impartial and independent investigations take place into every one of the over 80 killings and that those responsible are brought to justice. Investigating officials must be given full access to all material evidence, including autopsy and forensic evidence.

NATIONAL RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL INQUIRY OF BRUTAL ALGERIAN MASSACRES
“It is imperative that we not become numb to the pain and suffering of others and turn our backs to those who need our help.”
WASHINGTON, January 23, 1998—Expressing “dismay and outrage” at the recent murders of thousands of innocent civilians in Algeria, an interfaith coalition of national religious organizations—including the Reform Jewish movement, U.S. Catholic Conference and National Council of Churches—called upon the U.S. government to encourage an international inquiry into the massacres and take a role in preventing any further killings. In a letter this week to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, they declared, “The U.S. and the international community cannot turn a blind eye to these massacres, but rather we must try to protect the innocent citizens who are suffering at the hands of the internal power struggle...” Drawing on shared religious values, they stated that “the Bible admonishes us that we cannot ‘sit idly by the blood of our neighbors’ and that because these killings have been done, at least in part, in the name of religion makes it even more imperative for us to speak out.” The joint letter was coordinated by the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism and signed by the following additional organizations: U.S. Catholic Conference, National Council of Churches, United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations, Church Women United, General Board of Church and Society, Seventh Day Adventist: International Religious Liberty Association, Presbyterian Church (USA), Church of the Brethren, and the Friends Committee on National Legislation.

Chinese Premier Meets Algerian President The Chinese government has always attached great importance to developing friendly relations with Algeria , and Sino-Algerian ties have expanded continuously since the two countries established diplomatic ties over 40 years ago.
Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji made the remarks Wednesday when he met with Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who is here attending China-Africa Cooperation Forum Ministerial Conference Beijing
Zhu said the two countries have held common ground over many international issues and conducted good cooperation in all fields. Bouteflika visited China twice in the 1970s, and great changes have taken place in China during the past 20 years. He invited the president to visit other Chinese cities to understand this country better. Zhu said China and Algeria have forged traditional friendship in the campaign of opposing imperialism and colonialism early in the 1950s, when Algeria was waging a national liberation war.

Open Letter to Algerian President

Following bloody rioting in October 1988 the single party state in Algeria initiated a democratisation programme. One of the first parties to be legalised was the Front de Islamique Salut (the Islamic Salvation Front or FIS). In local elections in June 1990 and then in the first round of parliamentary elections in December 1991 the FIS won the majority of seats. The army stepped in and cancelled the election process and banned the FIS. The seven years since have seen a massive civil conflict envelope every mode of life in Algeria - with intellectuals, journalists, politicians, musicians and most of all thousands upon thousands of innocent men and women murdered by the Islamist guerilla groups and the equally callous security forces. The armed Islamist guerilla groups have splintered and continue to target the military, civilian gatherings, communal guards and intellectuals, whilst the army-led government prepares for the next phase of obtaining legitimacy - an earlier than expected presidential election at the end of the year. Allies of President Zeroual formed a political party in March to contest seats in the upcoming elections and the legislative elections held June 5, 1997. This party - the National Democratic Rally (RND, Rassemblement National Democratique) - won 155 of the 380 seats in the Algerian Popular Assembly, with the pro-government FLN winning a further 64 seats. Moderate Islamist parties HAMAS (now HMS) and al-Nahdah won 25% of the seats between them. The third tier of government - the local councils were voted for on October 25, 1997. The turn-out was as low as the 1991 elections and the RND only managed to get the slight majority the FIS had gotten in December 1991.

ACAA Denounces and Condemns the Algerian's Government's Brutal Repression of People of Kabylia On April 18, Algeria's paramilitary police in Ait-Douala town in Kabylia, kidnapped 18-year old Massinissa Guermah. While in custody, he was shot to death when a paramilitary policeman emptied his automatic rifle on him. His death sparked peaceful demonstrations with calls for justice for the young high school student. The local population was met with unrestrained violence by the Algerian anti-riot police force. With the news of the young man's death reaching other parts of the Kabylia region, more towns and villages took to the streets to protest against the repressive policies of the government. Throughout the Kabylia region, the Amazigh (Berber) population, the first inhabitants of North Africa, are denouncing and condemning the Algerian Government's lack of respect of basic human rights and its mistreatment of the Amazigh population. Since Algeria's independence, the successive governments have repeatedly shown their inability to deal with Algeria's cultural and linguistic issues. Instead of working with the Amazigh activists to strengthen the country's diverse cultural and linguistic identity of all sectors of society, they have initiated and have been carried out an Arabisation program, with the aim of eradicating the Amazigh language, culture and identity. Despite that, the Amazigh people have continually refused to abdicate their rights to their own language, culture, and heritage for the last 39 years.

Iranian parliament Speaker Ali Akbar Nateq-Nuri has accused the Algerian government of being behind the massacres in the country. Quoted by Iranian radio, Nateq-Nuri told the Majlis on Sunday that the Algerian government was "obscenely slaughtering Muslims" with the aid of the West. "The Algerian government, assisted by direct intervention by the Westerners - who cannot tolerate the Muslims' victory - obscenely and shamelessly slaughters Muslims by embarking on inhuman acts. "An unidentified armed group attacks a village, beheads more than 400 people and martyrs a group under torture. Evidence shows that it is the government that has armed the group and set them against Muslims," he said, quoted by the radio. Nateq-Nuri also attacked the double standards of the West in its approach to human rights in Iran and Algeria. He also told the Majlis that the Algerian government placed the blame for the massacres on Islamic extremists.

CPJ Delegation Raises Press Freedom Concerns in Algeria CPJ Voices Concern over Newspaper Suspensions, Calls for Stepped-up Efforts to Locate 'Disappeared' Journalists News Alert Index CPJ Home Algiers, October 28, 1998 A delegation from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) called on the government yesterday to adopt concrete recommendations to improve press freedom in Algeria. CPJ began its first fact-finding mission to Algeria to investigate press freedom conditions earlier this month. In a two-hour meeting on Tuesday with Communications Minister Habib Chawki Hamraoui, the delegation comprised of Peter Arnett, CNN correspondent and member of CPJ's board of directors; CPJ Middle East program coordinator Joel Campagna; and Kamel Eddine Labidi, a consultant to the mission urged the government to locate and ensure the safety of Djamil Eddine Fahassi and Aziz Bouabdallah, two journalists who disappeared on May 7, 1995, and April 12, 1997, respectively. Both Fahassi, a reporter with the state-run radio station Alger Chaine III, and Bouabdallah, a reporter for the daily Al-Alam al-Siyassi, were apprehended by men presumed to be security agents. Their whereabouts are still unknown. In response to the delegation's recommendations, Hamraoui said, "I pledge the Algerian government's commitment to openness and the rule of law and democracy." He also guaranteed that newspapers could establish private printing facilities without government interference, and that "a new bill will soon end the state's monopoly on advertising."
