Algerian journalist Mourad Zeghidi has been detained for 800 days, a milestone his daughter, Inès Zeghidi, highlighted on July 20, 2026. Inès marked the occasion with a moving social media post detailing the family's pain and denouncing the injustice of her father’s imprisonment. She emphasizes that his detention is solely based on the exercise of his profession— “for words” he wrote. The case has raised concerns about freedom of the press in Algeria. Inès Zeghidi is determined to prevent her father’s situation from becoming accepted as commonplace. The story was first reported by Business News.
