He was summoned to the police station on Wednesday to respond to a complaint filed against him by Bouzid Lazhari, the president of the National Human Rights Council (CNDH), an official body.

The latter had been conspired by the opponent during the funeral of lawyer Ali Yahia Abdenour, veteran of the fight for human rights in Algeria, Monday in an Algerian cemetery.

Karim Tabbou, imprisoned from September 2019 to July 2020, has been a very popular face of the anti-regime protest since the start of the Hirak more than two years ago.

His police custody is part of a climate of increased repression against activists, political opponents and journalists in the run-up to legislative elections called by an unpopular power.
