“MAK” lamely defends dealings with the Israelis through Facebook!

Elements of the so-called “MAK Movement ” staged on Tuesday, a protest demonstration near the main entrance to the University Mouloud Mammeri in the eastern province of Tizi Ouzou, to demand the release of an activist detained several days ago in the province of Bejaia, after having published the text of an interview with a spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry on his own Facebook account along with human rights activist Kamel Eddine Fekhar.

The protesters denounced what they called the “crack down on freedoms through the imprisonment of human rights activists and even bloggers across social networking sites”, and carried pictures of activists Kamel Eddine Fekhar and Marzouk Touati, while demanding their release from detention.

They argued that the public authorities are “trying to tightly control the new means of free expression via the social networking sites”.

This protest happened at a time when defections still hit the ranks of the so-called “MAK Movement” as numerous adherents are said to be bitterly divided over the “external leadership” of the movement by refusing the repeated unacceptable injunctions from the latter.
