The Algerian court sentenced an 80 -year -old writer to five years in prison.
In an interview with the right French media outlet last year, Boualem Sansal gave France too much land to Algeria and gave too few land in Morocco.
He also said that Western Sahara’s dispute territory was historically part of Morocco.
During his detention, the French-Alger Lian writer spent time for health at the hospital.
His incident brought about the support of intellectuals and politicians, including Wole Soyinka, who won the Nigerian Nobel Prize, and French President Emmanuel Macron.
“BOUALEM SANSAL’s random detention is one of the factors to be solved before he is confident in addition to his worried health. [between our countries] Macron said it could recover again in February.
According to his friends, the artist finds himself at the center of a diplomatic line.
The French supporters’ committee recently said, “He was willing to be a pawn shop in a relationship between Paris and Alges.”
Algeria was once a valuable French colony and fought against the independence war that gained sovereignty in 1962.
Last year, when France supported Morocco’s claim of Western Sahara in Morocco, the relationship between the two countries relaxed for a long time. Algeria supports Algeria’s polysario group that supports the polysario group, which is fighting for territory.
Algiers responded a bit by withdrawing the paris ambassador.
Three years ago, Algeria broke his diplomatic relations with Morocco.
Following the court ruling on Wednesday, the lawyer of the Sansal asked President Algeria’s Abdelmadjid Tebbody to show the artist to show “humanity.”
Sansal is well known for his anti -Islamic view and is a spokesman for the Algerian government.
His evangelists say that they are love for the right side of their prejudice.
The top French leader, Marine Le Pen, called Sansal as “a fighter and a courageous opposition between fighters and Islam.”
His age was previously reported at age 75, but his publisher Gali Marmar says he is actually 80.
Sansal’s best -known work includes 2084, a satire about religious radicalism that won the Franco Pony Grand Prix of the French Academy 10 years ago.
His next novel, Vivre, will be published in May and tells the stories of those who chose to colonize new planets as the earth gets closer to apocalypse.
