Algeria compensates people acquitted after temporary prison

President of Algeria’s High Court Keddour Berradjee said the special court which was set up for people put in temporary prison and acquitted decided in dozens of requests. A large number of case files were rejected due to legal deadline expiry.

• Berradjee told Echorouk the case file of people who were acquitted after being temporary jailed required establishing a special court of three judges.
• Speaking on those who appealed the procedures, the law practitioner said they ignore legal measures on their situation especially legal deadlines for compensation.
• For his part, Algerian Justice Minister Tayeb Belaiz said there is no ideal judicial system where decisions in cases take a long time. “Slow procedures and many ways for appeal are behind this delay which causes dissatisfaction.”
