At a press conference held Monday at its Paris headquarters with the Algerian Press Freedom Collective, Reporters Without Borders reiterated its call to the Algerian authorities to stop judicial harassment of the privately-owned press and to release Le Matin editor Mohamed Benchicou, who has been in prison for exactly one year.
At the same time, the Algerian Press Freedom Collective and the newspaper L'Humanité called for a protest rally outside the Algerian embassy in Paris at 6 p.m. Tuesday, the anniversary of Benchicou's arrest.
