I spent most of my time in police stations and courts instead of being in my editorial office or in the field. I hardly had time to do careful work.\u00a0<br><br>They [authorities] did what they wanted. Hit me where it hurts. They are trying to stop me from practicing journalism, and by associating me with trials and crimes I never committed, my sources have become afraid to speak to me. Not to mention the fact that no media outlet is willing to recruit me anymore, for fear of suffering the same fate as Interface M\u00e9dia.\u00a0<br><br><strong>Algerian authorities brought multiple legal cases against you. How were they connected with your work as a journalist?<\/strong><br><br>In the first case, they charged me with allegedly helping journalist Amira Bouraoui flee to France and founding a criminal organization. I have never met Amira, so even though all the evidence was in my favor, the court convicted me regardless. The other case was more dangerous.<br><br>They convicted me on charges similar to those that were used to convict journalist Ihsane el-Kadi including receiving foreign funding harmful to national interest and dissemination of classified information with an attempt to harm state institutions, espionage, and belonging to a terrorist group. All these charges were given to me after they illegally opened my smartphone, which they had confiscated following my arrest in the first case. <br><br>They found communications with someone who works for an NGO called Global Integrity. I had submitted a report on democracy and transparency in Algeria to this group as a freelancer.\u00a0\u00a0For the other charges regarding the dissemination of classified information, they stem from an article I wrote for Le Provincial on corruption that I shared with Algerian journalist Abdou Semmar, who self-exiled in France and was sentenced to death in absentia after being convicted of spreading false news. <br><br>He wanted to make a video about the article for his website. The information I shared with him was not classified, as opposed to my conversation with him, which was private. It feels like the Amira Bouraoui case was a trap to get to me first and then add whatever charges they wanted later to keep me in prison.\u00a0\u00a0<br><br><strong>Now that you\u2019ve been released, are you still being targeted for your work?<\/strong><br>I am still not allowed to travel outside of the country, and this is illegal because I was unconditionally released from prison after finishing my entire sentence. I tried to travel to Tunisia in May, and they told me at the border that I am not allowed to leave Algeria.\u00a0<br><br>The only travel ban I received was in November 2019, after a court accused me of attacking national interest because I shared a news report on Facebook that leaked information from a police investigation about me. <br><br>This travel ban order was valid for three months, with the possibility of renewal only one time. Since I was acquitted in this case a while ago, these measures against me are arbitrary and just unfair.\u00a0<br><br><strong>How does losing your role at Le Provincial change the protections you have as a journalist in the country?<\/strong><br><br>I have been finding it difficult to work in the field of journalism ever since I was let go of my job. As a staffer I was somewhat protected under the press code, and through my employer, to carry out my investigations and research as a journalist. <br><br>However, without my job in a news outlet, the government does not officially consider me a journalist, and therefore can prosecute me as a civilian and I can then get heavier sentences.\u00a0\u00a0<br><br>So any work I do in the future as a freelancer might lead to heavy criminal charges.\u00a0Right after my release from prison, I was also targeted by a police officer who was intimidating me on the street. I was coming out of a bar and was on the phone with a friend and this officer\u00a0<br><br>Golden Times | South
