With the arrest of Ihsane El Kadi, a renowned journalist and director of Radio M, Tebboune’s regime has crushed one of the last independent voices in Algeria’s local media, writes Daikha Dridi.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on the Algerian authorities to stop muzzling imprisoned journalist Ihsane El Kadi’s two media outlets, which were raided, stripped of their equipment and closed after his arrest on 24 December, putting 30 or so employees out of work. This could mean the end of the only really independent media left in Algeria, RSF says.
