Algeria intends for the first time to retrieve the nationality for citizens who perpetrate acts abroad that are liable to “seriously damage the interests of the state or harm the national unity,” the prime minister’s office announced on Wednesday.
The measure will apply to people who join, finance or glorify a terrorist organization, it said in a statement after a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Abdelaziz Djerad to consider reformations to the nationality law and other issues.
It said the provisions of the law stay compatible with international conventions and ensure the right to appeal, without providing more details on the reasons behind the amendment.
The measure is expected to be reviewed again later at a cabinet meeting chaired by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune.
