Algeria police shut down sociologist's book signing: publisher

TUNIS: Algerian police shut down a book signing by sociologist Fatma Oussedik and temporarily closed the bookstore slated to host it, her publisher said on Sunday, calling the incident "as incomprehensible as it is illegal". The Koukou Editions publishing house said police on Saturday seized copies of the book, whose title translates to "Rebellious Identities: Rethinking One's Own History", and shut the Beaux-Arts bookstore in Algiers for a month.
