Alert in El Harrach prison
The Direction of El Harrach Prison, Algiers, has tied 8 detainees and put them under isolation following the discovery of some mobile phones inside their cells, while prisoners, who are serving for terrorism related cases, have accused some guards of tearing out religious books, sources inside the prison revealed.

El Harrach prison is witnessing a high state of tension for five days after tussles between prisoners detained in cell 1 and 2 and some guards, the same source told El Khabar. Prison guards found 4 mobile phones hidden under prisoner’s beds following a routing search. Immediately, guards removed the prisoners who sleep where mobile phones were found. The concerned prisoners have been a subject to a cross exanimation during the same day then punished by being put under isolation after tying their hands and deprived from their usual rights.

In turn, the abovementioned prisoners entered in a hunger strike to protest against what they call “false charges,” while denying that the discovered phones are theirs. The same sources quoted prisoners saying that “some guards have torn out religious books, while a guard has written down offensive words on one those books.” El Khabar could not infirm or confirm theses allegations.
