An Algerian court has confirmed a seven-year prison sentence for French journalist Christophe Gleizes. The ruling on Wednesday finalizes his conviction.
The French government, which has actively sought Gleizes's release, immediately criticized the decision. Officials did not specify the exact charges against the sports journalist.
This case occurs amid broader diplomatic tensions between Algeria and France. The sentence is likely to further strain relations between the two nations.
