Copenhagen-Algiers, 20 December 2011. On 13 December 2011, the National People's Assembly of Algeria (Assemblée nationale populaire, APN) adopted a repressive law on associations. In October, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (EMHRN) and its member organisations in Algeria - the Coalition of Families of the Disappeared (Collectif des familles des disparu(e)s d'Algérie) and the Algerian Human Rights Defence League (Ligue Algérienne pour la Défense des Droits de l'Homme, LADDH) - have sent the NPA parliamentarians a letter urging them to make changes to the text of the proposed law. Our organisations deplore the fact that the text adopted by the APN has remained substantially unchanged and vigorously condemn its provisions, which does not guarantee the right to freedom of association and imposes additional restrictions on associations, especially with regard to cooperation between Algerian associations and their international partners.

Sous le mot d'ordre,  Plus puissant que la violence, le respect

أكثر قوة من العنف , الاحترام
