The daughter of a prominent Algerian journalist who was arrested and detained last month says her father must be released immediately.

Longstanding government critic, Ihsane El Kadi, is accused of receiving foreign funds and threatening national security.

He owns a popular radio station and a website, both of which have been closed down by the authorities.

His daughter, Tin Hinane, tells BBC Focus on Africa‘s Bola Mosuro that her father had been continuously harassed by the authorities, and she fears the journalists who worked for him are now in “dire situations.”
