In Algeria, a journalist was arrested by the police on Saturday during a march. Khaled Drarni has now spent his second night in police custody at a police station in the capital Algiers.
Members of his media outfit are now mobilising for his release. His fate will be known later this morning when he is brought before a court.
So, why was he arrested and what currently informs the arrests of demonstrators and press men in Algeria?
