Algeria: RSF Meets With Algeria's Communications Minister

press release

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) called for an end to harassment of Algerian media outlets and journalists when it met with Algerian communications minister Hamid Grine for the first time in Algiers today (1 June) to offer its recommendations on respect for media freedom.

RSF welcomed the fact that media freedom without any form of prior censorship is guaranteed for the first time in the constitutional reform adopted by Algeria's parliament in January, but said legislation must now be harmonised with the new constitution and with the provisions on media freedom and freedom of information in the international accords ratified by Algeria.
