The Algerian Human Rights Defense League (LADDH) announced, Sunday, January 22, that it was dissolved without the knowledge by the authorities during a trial held in his absence. In a press release published in French on its site, LADDH believes that, like other organizations, it “pays” its “commitment to democracy, freedoms and human rights”.
“Like [for] other organizations, the question of compliance with the Acts for Associations has always been the subject of blocking and instrumentalization on the part of the public authorities,” says the NGO. A “continuous relentlessness […] which makes, with this last decision, a proportion of extreme gravity”, she regrets, saying that she had been declared “guilty of taking care of human rights”.
Friday, the LADDH said it had learned via an anonymous document published on social networks that it had been dissolved by a court decision on September 29 and that it was going to verify this information. Information she confirmed this Sunday. This dissolution followed a request from the Ministry of the Interior to the Administrative Court of Algiers on May 4. The court ruled on June 29 in favor of this request. According to the NGO, she was at no time informed of this current procedure.
Algerian justice accuses him of “working on the issue of human rights with other internationally recognized bodies and organizations […] of campaigning for the rights of migrants, for workers’ rights”, which is “revolting,” says Laddh.
