Algeria pardons Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal

Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has pardoned French-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal following a request from German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Sansal, 81, was arrested last year and sentenced to five years for undermining national unity, charges he denied, insisting he never intended to offend Algeria or its institutions.
