Algiers castigates the « inadmissible » detention of one of his consular agents – Liberation
Three men, one of whom works in one of the consulates of Algeria in France, were indicted on Friday in Paris, suspected of being involved in the kidnapping of Amir Boukhors, known as « Amir Dz », an opponent of the Algerian power in place. They are prosecuted for arrest, kidnapping, sequestration or arbitrary detention followed by liberation before the seventh day, in relation to a terrorist enterprise, the National Anti -Roriste Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) said on Saturday.
Amir Boukhors is an Algerian influencer installed in France since 2016, whose return Algeria was demanding the return to judge him. He obtained political asylum in 2023. The Algerian ministry said he received the French ambassador for « Express the bright protest » Algiers. On « The form », Algeria recalled that « The consular agent was arrested in the middle of public roads and then placed in police custody without notification by the diplomatic channel ». On « The bottom », Algiers denounces « The green and wacky argument » of the French Ministry of the Interior, believing that this « Inadmissible judicial cabal » rest « On the mere fact that the mobile phone of the accused consular agent would have limited around the address of the home of the energetic » Amir Boukhors.
Smart tensions have affected relations between Algeria and France for eight months, since Emmanuel Macron decided at the end of July to support a plan of autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty for Western Sahara, where the separatists of the Polisario are supported by Algiers. They have further aggravated with the arrest of The Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal.
These tensions have nevertheless been a little peaceful in recent days, thanks in particular to an appeal on March 31 between Emmanuel Macron and the Algerian president, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, having acted with the resumption of bilateral dialogue.
