eight Islamists, found guilty in two separate trials of “belonging to an armed group and murder”, were sentenced to death in absentia by the tribunal in Boumerdès, Algeria. This takes the number of those sentenced to death in absentia after February 23 by Algerian tribunals against armed Islamists on the run to at least 20.
