“Recent decisions by Algerian courts to sentence Christians accused of blasphemy and proselytism to terms of several years in prison and to seal Protestant churches that have been forcibly closed demonstrate that the country is heading in the wrong direction. "

Algerian justice recently delivered several verdicts against Christians . And for the American Commission for International Religious Freedom ( USCIRF ), these decisions "restrict the religious freedom of Christians in the country."

On March 22, Hamid Soudad was sentenced to five years in prison for insulting the prophet. On June 6, Rachid Mohamed Seighir , pastor and owner of a bookstore, was sentenced to one year in prison for "printing, storing or distributing documents that could 'shake' the faith of a Muslim". On June 4, a court ordered the sealing of three Protestant churches, which had been closed by the government in 2020.

For USCIRF President Nadine Maenza, “the country is going in the wrong direction”.

“Recent decisions by Algerian courts to sentence Christians accused of blasphemy and proselytism to terms of several years in prison and to seal Protestant churches that have been forcibly closed demonstrate that the country is heading in the wrong direction. "

USCIRF commissioner Frederick A. Davie denounces “blatant attempts to deprive Algerian Christians
of their right to freedom of religion and belief”.


“These court decisions are blatant attempts to deprive Algerian Christians of their right to freedom of religion and belief. We encourage U.S. government officials to attend the calls for these decisions to demonstrate our strong commitment to the religious freedom of Christians and all religious minorities in Algeria. "
