(Beit) – An Algerian urt on September 3, 2020 sentenced 2 men to prison terms and 42 others to spend terms after mass arrts at what the police alleged was a “gay weddg, ” Human Rights Watch said today. An Algerian lawyer volved the se told Human Rights Watch that the urt ed police reports scribg the ratns, flowers, and sweets ditive of a weddg celebratn, and the men’s supposedly gay appearance, as evince of guilt. “Algerian thori’ attack on personal eedoms is nothg new, but arrtg dozens of stunts based on their perceived sexual orientatn is a flagrant gement on their basic rights, ” said Rasha Youn, lbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenr (LGBT) rights rearcher at Human Rights Watch.

In fact, I uld only terpret that as a mere pretext, sce the novel had received a good al of media attentn Algeria - not for the referenc to God that ntas, but rather for addrsg homosexualy the ntext of the revolutn; namely, the protagonist reprents a gay martyr the Algerian War of Liberatn. A few months prr, I had been excsively attacked one of the largt natnal Arabic daili (ach-Chourouq) and on the ma Islamist pag Algeria, which picted the novel as g homosexualy to sult the revolutn and the image of fallen Algerians. The strong argument, which ultimately swayed public bate favour of my novel, was that I had dited to Jean Sénac, also known by his nom guerre Yahya al-Ouahrani, a proment Algerian rebel known for beg gay.
Yet was still strikg to disver the official perceptn of homosexuals as send class cizens, even those who fell durg Algeria’s War of Liberatn and who were erased om llective memory until my novel Cy of the Whe Shadows forced the subject to the public bate.
It draws on Algerian history - or rather, on a fake nceptn of the past, falsified to reprent homosexuals Algerian media, Arabic cema, and Islamic culture as ridiculo, idtic dividuals whose sole and only tert life is to engage sexual terurse.
