Algerian Influencer Doualemn's Detention Extended, Escalating Diplomatic Tensions

French court extends Doualemn's detention by 26 days after suspending his expulsion, as diplomatic strain between France and Algeria deepens.

Algerian influencer Doualemn, detained in France since January, will remain in custody for an additional 26 days following a court decision on Sunday.
Doualemn's expulsion to Algeria was suspended last week by a Paris administrative court, citing insufficient justification for the urgency of the procedure.
The influencer, accused of inciting violence against an Algerian regime opponent on TikTok, faces a trial on February 24 for related charges.
Algeria's refusal to accept Doualemn after his January expulsion has aggravated diplomatic tensions between the two nations, with French officials calling the move an intentional affront.
His lawyers plan to appeal the extended detention, arguing that Doualemn, a longtime French resident with family ties in the country, is being unfairly targeted.
