Algeria Pardons French-Algerian Writer Sansal

Algeria pardons French-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal, 81, for undermining national unity, following international pressure and appeals from German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. Sansal, a renowned novelist, will be transferred to Germany for urgent medical treatment due to his declining health and cancer diagnosis. He was arrested last year for controversial remarks about Algerias borders and sentenced to five years in prison under anti-terror legislation.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
