HRWF contribution to the Annual report on Algeria’s progress under the partnership priorities under the ENP

HRWF (15.02.2017) – Human Rights Without Frontiers would like to bring to the attention of

MEPs of the Sub-Committee on Human Rights and of the EU Delegation for Relations with Mahgreb countries
the European External Action Service
the European Council
the violations of the right to freedom of religion or belief in Algeria.

Additionally, we’d like to highlight recent events regarding the persecution of members of the Ahmadiyya faith across Algeria.

Although Algeria has signed and ratified the ICCPR, and lawfully provides freedom of creed and opinion, freedom of expression, association and meeting, Algeria firmly instils Islam as the state religion, leaving other religious groups’ rights unprotected.
