Comments Off on Sexual Assault Of Algerian Student Protester Unleashes Wave Of Outrage
ALGIERS, Algeria — Algerians are demanding justice for a student who says he was raped and tortured by security forces after participating in a pro-democracy demonstration.
Widespread condemnation by human rights activists and political activists moved Algeria’s General Prosecutor’s Office to open an investigation into alleged abuses suffered by the student, Walid Nekkiche, during his 14 months in prison in pre-trial detention.
“I’ve been through hell,” 25-year-old Walid Nekkiche said, following his release from prison on Feb. 2. “Especially the six days spent at the Ben Aknoun barracks.”

Algerian NGOs create committee to protect prisoners after rape claims

The committee says it will fight against what they call out as torture and inhuman prison conditions.
"What shocked us is that when Walid Nekkiche is abused, we are all abused, as a people, as civil society, as activists, as citizens, etc. And that, in my opinion, should not go unpunished," said Algerian journalist Zoheir Aberkane.
The committee is made up of the National Committee for the Liberation of Detainees (CNLD), the National Coordination of Algerian Academics for Change and the Collective of lawyers for the defense of prisoner of conscience.
The CNLD estimates more than 70 people are currently imprisoned in Algeria in connection with the Hirak protests or for individual freedoms.
