Escalation of threats against Ben Zahra
The case of Algerian activist and opponent Chawki Ben Zahra became a hot topic in French public opinion after he was threatened with physical liquidation by Algerians residing in France.
These threats confirm the escalation of the political and social climate, particularly in light of the ongoing campaign against opponents abroad.
Shawqi bin Zahra’s positions
Chawki Ben Zahra is known for his critical positions towards the Algerian military regime and his public support for Morocco’s position on the Moroccan Sahara issue.
These positions have made him the target of frequent cyberattacks and increasing threats from certain individuals linked to the Algerian regime.
It should be noted that his continued appearance on the Moroccan channel “Medi 1 TV” contributed to the escalation of these threats against him, putting his life in danger.
Algerian intelligence intervention
Many observers accuse Algerian intelligence of mobilizing Algerian influencers in France to attack and threaten opponents.
This accusation reflects Algeria’s growing political interference in the affairs of the Algerian community abroad, which arouses concern among French authorities, who see it as a threat to internal security.
The case of Chawki Ben Zahra continues to affect relations between Algeria and France, with an escalation of threats against opponents on French soil.
Under these conditions, the French authorities must adopt a firm position to protect individual freedoms and guarantee national security against any external threat.
