Released from Prison, Algerian Christian Faces Persecution in Tunisia
TIZI-OUZOU, Algeria, April 5, 2021 (Morning Star News) – After Slimane Bouhafs was released from prison in 2018, having served nearly two years for violating Algeria’s blasphemy laws, further persecution drove him to Tunisia.
Threats on his life continue there, and he is stuck in legal limbo – missing his daughter’s wedding on Friday (April 2).
“My daughter who gave so much to me, who has always supported me, she is getting married without me being able to be by her side,” Bouhafs said in tears on Thursday (April 1). “It is a very great pain that I am suffering.”
