A new law in Algeria aims to ensure the revocation of the citizenship of nationals deemed to be sponsoring, participating in and encouraging terrorism by their country’s government.
In a meeting on a new nationality law and terms chaired by Prime Minister Abdelaziz Djerad, amendments were discussed, with the new regulations expected to affect individuals and groups who hobnob with nations dubbed enemies of Algeria.
The Prime Minister’s office disclosed on Wednesday that the rule will withdraw the nationality of citizens who threaten the peace and national unity of the country.
The new regulation is not expected to contravene any international convention, but there will be right to appeal for those it affects.
Another meeting will be held in the coming days, led by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. It is expected to produce a conclusion on the new law.
