Algeria’s Ministry of Communication, withdrew on Saturday, the accreditation of the Saudi El-Arabiya channel in Algiers.
The decision comes after “the non-compliance of the rules of professional ethics and its recourse to disinformation and manipulation,” said the ministry in a statement.
The statement did back its claims against the channel.
In July, Algeria cancelled the accreditation of France 24, saying it was motivated by “hostility towards our country and its institutions.
FRANCE 24 said in a statement that “we cover Algerian news transparently, independently and honestly, as is the case with all countries we cover”.
Reporters Without Borders ranked Algeria 146 out of 180 countries in its 2020 World Press Freedom Index.
