description Since June 2019, the Algerian hirak has been subjected to a judicial crackdown that has put an end to its public action since May-June 2021. To repress the mobilization of this peaceful “Movement” and prevent its structuration, the authorities already had at their disposal a wide range of repressive provisions restricting rights and freedoms – a legacy of the colonial era, the single party, the Black Decade and the containment of the Arab Springs. To respond to the specificities of the hirak, this arsenal was reinforced, as soon the confinement that followed the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic was announced, with the promulgation of new laws targeting “passive solidarity crime” and discourse of hatred or “fake news”. In addition, Ordinance No. 21-08 of 8 June 2021 more broadly and severely criminalized the demands of the movement, extending the qualification of terrorist act and sabotage to the fact of “striving or inciting, by any means, to access power or change the system of governance by non-constitutional means” (Penal Code, art. 87 bis, para. 14).
