Algeria jailed a French sports journalist for seven years on charges of 'glorifying terrorism,' amid a simmering feud between the North African nation and its former colonial rulers.
Christophe Gleizes, 36, was sentenced by a court in the eastern Kabylie region on Sunday, advocacy group Reporters Sans Frontieres said in a statement condemning the decision. He will lodge an appeal.
