On December 2, 2024, the Tizi Ouzou Court in Algeria sentenced five Jehovah’s Witnesses to two years in prison and fined them 100,000 Algerian dinars each. They were convicted of “inciting a Muslim to change religion” and “undermining national unity.” The court’s decision was influenced by Algeria’s 2006 law (06-09), which restricts proselytism and is considered by some to be inconsistent with international human rights principles that protect freedom of religion and belief. The ruling also misinterpreted Jehovah’s Witnesses’ teachings, suggesting that their beliefs pose a threat to state stability, a claim that has been contested by religious freedom advocates.

 I wonder how far will it spread in their local media? If so, it will give a witness.

I believe they’ve been there since Algeria was a French colony. They’ve been under ban for a long time
