ALGERIA: PROTESTS IN FRANCE FOR WOMEN IN HASSI MESSAOUD

ALGERIA: PROTESTS IN FRANCE FOR WOMEN IN HASSI MESSAOUD: ANSAMED HT gov

(ANSAmed) – PARIS, MAY 4 – Protests in France against the daily aggression against women working in Hassi Messaoud, the oil city in the heart of Algeria, continue. These women are considered to be prostitutes by fundamentalist imams, only because they live on their own. The imams set people against them in fiery sermons, which are always followed by punitive expeditions in which the women are robbed, beaten, tortured and raped. Today Francés Grand Lodge for women in a statement denounced “the silence that reigns on this extreme violence, aggression, the rapes and even murders” and deplores “the indifference of the media regarding these dramatic and barbaric events”. The violence has also been denounced by other French associations, particularly that tragic night in 2001 when around a hundred women ended up in hospital after an expedition of men armed with clubs, steel bars, knives. The story was recently told in a book by Algerian writer Nadia Kaci, unveiling the drama to France. But the drama still continues according to articles in Algerian dailies in the oil city, which denounced the impunity of the aggressors, the silence of the institutions and local authorities, the laxity of the community regarding the general condition of women in Algeria.

  1. As more and more people stand up to the atrocities that Islam allows, more and more effective action by the west and the free world seems inevitable.

    May the free world prevail.
