The Algerian Committee for the Defense of Detainees announced, on Saturday, the arrest of Wafaa Bouraoui, sister of activist Amira Bouraoui, and her mother, Khadija Bouraoui, 73, at their home in Wadi Rumman, Algiers.
The committee confirmed that the arrest took place at around 7:00 pm on Saturday (6:00 GMT) at the hands of the gendarmerie of the Ashour municipality.
The committee explained that “policemen, in civilian clothes, stormed (the house of the Bouraoui family) twice two days ago to intimidate them and ask them if they were proud of what their daughter and sister did.”
The committee condemned what it said was the arrest of the activist Bouraoui’s sister and her mother,
The committee considered in a post on its official Facebook page, that “the regime that behaves in this way hastens its downfall, if it is not already in a state of complete collapse.”
