Algeria clears way for potential pardon of jailed French journalist

ALGIERS: An Algerian court cleared the way for a presidential pardon of a detained French journalist by rejecting an appeal from prosecutors for a tougher sentence and acknowledging the defendant’s withdrawal of his own appeal, his lawyers said on Wednesday. The lawyers for Christophe Gleizes, a French sports journalist detained in Algeria since 2024 on terror charges, announced the Court of Cassation’s decision in a statement on Facebook.
