national de la LADDH aurait été acquitté par la Cour Criminelle de Ghardaïa dans l‟affaire où il
était accusé d‟«incitation à mettre le feu à une voiture de police», suite à la rétraction de témoins,

son employeur après avoir établi une section syndicale et cinq procès sont en cours contre lui. M.
