New York, July 9, 2026 – Algerian authorities must immediately release freelance journalist and blogger Mourad At-Mimou and stop targeting journalists for their online commentary, the Committee to Protect Journalists said Thursday.



Plainclothes police officers detained At-Mimou on July 7, while he was at a café in Tizi-Ouzou, in northern Algeria’s Kabylie region, according to a local journalist following the case who spoke to CPJ on the condition of anonymity, citing fear of reprisal.
