Macron Urges Algeria's Tebboune to Show 'Mercy' for Jailed Writer Sansal | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Macron Urges Algeria's Tebboune to Show 'Mercy' for Jailed Writer Sansal | Firstpost Africa | N18G French President Emmanuel Macron has called for a "gesture of mercy and humanity" towards jailed French-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal. Macron made the plea during what he described as a "long, frank, and friendly" phone call with his Algerian counterpart, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, covering bilateral ties and "tensions that have accumulated over recent months." At the centre of these tensions is Boualem Sansal, a French-Algerian writer who was sentenced to five years in prison by Algeria last week for comments that Algiers claimed were against its sovereignty. The 80-year-old writer, who is also a cancer patient, is known for his criticism of Algerian authorities and Islamists. He sparked controversy after an interview with French media where he said colonial-era France unfairly ceded Moroccan territory to Algeria.
