Algeria seals office of human rights group SOS Disappeared

Algerian police sealed the Algiers office of SOS Disappeared on 16 March 2026, a human rights organization that advocates for accountability for thousands of people forcibly disappeared during Algeria's 1990s conflict. Amnesty International's Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa characterized the closure as a blow to efforts for truth, justice, and reparations in the country.
