Algeria: Salama gets 4-year suspended sentence
The Casablanca Court in Algiers sentenced economic expert Jaloul Salama to four years in prison and a fine after he cast doubt on the feasibility of the G appeared G batteries mineral project. The case dates back to statements he made regarding the economic and technical costs of the project, which is one of Algeria's most important strategic initiatives to boost iron production and mining industries. Authorities considered that his remarks were in line with disseminating "false" news that could harm national security and public order. Prosecutors had detained Salama in January 2026 before he was placed in pretrial detention in February of the same year.
