Christophe Gleizes, a French sports journalist, has been sentenced to seven years in prison in Algeria for an interview with a football coach linked to a banned separatist movement. His family is seeking support from the sporting community, particularly from Zinédine Zidane. Rights groups criticize the case as an attack on press freedom. Gleizes was arrested in May 2024 for allegedly 'glorifying terrorism' and 'possessing harmful propaganda'. The case highlights tensions between France and Algeria.
