Protests in Algeria

Philip J. Crowley
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Public Affairs
Washington, DC

We note the ongoing protests in Algeria, and call for restraint on the part of the security services. In addition, we reaffirm our support for the universal rights of the Algerian people, including assembly and expression. These rights apply on the internet. Moreover, these rights must be respected. We will continue to follow the situation closely in the days ahead.
