The trial of the journalist Mohamed el Maqaleh starts on Sunday, 7th of February, 2010, in the specialized Algerian court; the State Security Court.
Maqaleh was abducted on the night of the 17th of September, 2009. The authorities did not only refused to reveal his place but denied even to have him in its custody for over three months until the President, in late December, 2009, admitted the presence of Maqaleh in the custody of the government in a meeting with the parties' leaders (known as the Coalition of the Opposition).
Maqaleh revealed to the Secretary General of the Journalists' Syndicate, Marwan Demag, that he was exposed to different types of physical assault and torture that caused him to bleed.
Maqaleh stayed for three months with blood stains on his clothes since his abduction. Also, his abductors performed a simulation for his execution twice. In addition, he was isolated in an old house where he went on a food strike for 16 days which strongly affected his health.
