The defence of Arab prisoners detained by Algerian authorities and accused of belonging to terrorist groups or participating in terrorist acts is wondering about their fate. The Arabs are from Yemen, Egypt and Morocco. The defence also insists on the fact that the deadline is for all terrorists and not only Algerians as clarified by the second chapter of the Charter. So asking for their fate before moving to the post-reconciliation phase is legitimate.Algerian authorities are detaining a certain number of foreign nationals for the period beginning from the pre-referendum on National Reconciliation Charter and the approval of laws. There are 7 Yemenis, one Egyptian and a Moroccan in all. The defence of the people in question report that they are requesting a clearer view of their files. It also excluded that behind the long period of their detention and fate may be their link with international terrorism. A foreign interference can be a reason for such behaviour.
But there is another question to be raised and which is the fate of Algerians detained during the period extending from February till now. They are accused of having the intention and preparing to fight in Iraq. Their relatives say as the deadline of reconciliation is nearly reached, accusations of almost 50 people are still unclear as well as the reason for not considering them as part of reconciliation procedures if they are found guilty of terrorism and having intentions of fighting in Iraq. The defence of such people and many others are sharing the same views and expecting judicial institutions to find a solution so that every one of them can take profit from reconciliation.
