Abdelmadjid Tebboune made particularly odious and serious statements about Boualem Sansal, arrested on November 16 and placed in pre-trial detention.
How did it come to pass that a head of state attacked a prisoner of conscience who was incapable of defending himself? Abdelmadjid Tebboune declared about the Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal: “You send an imposter who does not know his identity, nor his father, and who says that half of Algeria belongs to another state (Morocco). , Editor’s note)”.
A man, head of state at the head of a large country, does not and must not make this kind of gutter speech. This accusation which condemns Boualem Sansal and undermines his moral integrity, particularly before justice, is a serious precedent.
This very serious declaration made during his speech delivered this Sunday before the two chambers meeting at the Palace of Nations in Algiers, definitively ends the hope of seeing him benefit from the famous presidential pardon made public at the end of the week.
The head of state is not ready to make a serious accusation against a defenseless prisoner of conscience. Let us remember that journalist Khaled Derarni was described as “khabarji” by the same Tebboune during a meeting with the press.
