Mob Justice in Algeria

Hat tip Francois DeSouche


Recently, Algeria has been hit with a series of wildfires that have cost 69 lives. It is believed the fires were deliberately set. A video has surfaced showing a mob forcibly taking a suspected arsonist from police, beating him, and setting him on fire. There is some question as to whether the man was truly guilty of setting fires or was completely innocent.

The National Prosecutor's Office has issued a statement to the effect that an investigation has been opened into the incident. Below is an article in the French-language Algerian news outlet, El Moudjahid. Translation from French by Fousesquawk. (Actually, this appears to be three articles lumped together. The first one, which describes the incident, is translated.)

Citizen lynched and burned alive at Larbaa Nath Irathen: The prosecutor orders opening of an investigation

The prosecutor of the Republic at the tribunal of Larbaa Nath Irathen (Court of Tuzi-Ouzou) last Thursday ordered the opening of an investigation into the circumstances of the death of a citizen lynched and burned alive in the region of Larbaa Nath Irathen following suspicions of his involvement in the forest fires that have ravaged the region.

"After videos circulated on social media, Wednesday, August 11, showing the murder of a citizen        (mortally burned and lynched), the prosecutor of the Republic at the Tribunal of Larbaa Nath Irathen informs the public, in conformance with Article 11 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, as follows: "A group of citizens apprehended three persons who were in a vehicle, following their suspicion of being implicated in the forest fires that broke out in the region of Larbaa Nath Irathen. After being attacked, police intervened to rescue them, and they were transferred to the police headquarters," the communique of the prosecutor of the Republic at the Tribunal of Larbaa Nath Irathen reads.

"However, the same group continued to attack the police headquarters with violence and succeeded in removing one of the three individuals from the police station and dragging him outside, beating him and burning him, this leading to his death. The police officers who intervened to protect the victim and rescue him were also subjected to injuries," the same source added. 

The prosecutor has ordered the Judicial Police to open an investigation into the circumstances of this matter, with the objective of identifying the perpetrators and bringing them to justice, so that they be severely punished, in conformance with the law, and that this hateful crime does not go unpunished. The public will be informed of the results of the investigation," the same source concludes.

The below video is from the French-language site, Francois DeSouche, and shows most of the incident. Viewer warning: It is graphic. I don't know how long this video will be up, but after long thought, I have decided to show it. While we are unable to translate it, one cry is audible over and over: "Allahu Akhbar!" Why am I showing it? Because thanks to open borders, this is what is pouring now into Europe.
