Algeria: Violence against civilians in Algiers
The Mufti: As soon as we contacted him - may Allah reward him and bless him - he took care of the matter and issued a correspondence to the University Registrar to enable religious secondary school students to exercise their right to enroll in the university and to cancel their previous message to the Registrar to prevent religious secondary school students from entering the colleges. I greet him and thank him for his attention, may Allah grant him success and bless him. The Mufti: The questioner who asked about the Director of the Minister of Justice's office and how he is supposed to be empowered to work in judicial bodies and prosecution, despite not holding a legal or Sharia qualification, nor having studied law, and being accused of forgery in documents and other things, as he says. The Mufti: Our experience with the Minister of Justice, unfortunately, is bad. Previously, as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Judicial Institute, she nominated hundreds of people last year, most of whom turned out to be unqualified, and there were numbers over retirement age and unrelated to judicial work. That was a scandal. The Mufti: This year too, thousands of students are applying to the institute, and the few who will be enabled to enter the institute are feared, as is customary, to be selected by the minister from the children of dignitaries and advisors, not based on competence and qualification. The Mufti: Among what this questioner mentioned is that the Minister's office director, who has no relation to the law and is accused of forgery, the minister is seeking to enable him in the judicial bodies. The Mufti: There are a number of complaints and appeals submitted to the Public Prosecutor against the Minister's office director, stating that admitting him to the judicial bodies with the accusations against him constitutes a crime that must not be ignored. The Mufti: The complainants against the Minister's office director say that they submitted their complaints to the Public Prosecutor's office three months ago, and unfortunately, they have not been heeded. The Mufti: They say the correspondence exchanged between the Public Prosecutor's office based on these complaints and the responses received from the minister constitute a dilution of the issue. The accused has not been summoned, nor has he been investigated to date. The Mufti: Admitting elements accused of forgery and unqualified to work in the judiciary is corruption of the judiciary. This is what previously led to the issuance of illegal health releases for those who had been sentenced, such as Abdullah Mansour, the former head of the General People's Committee, and now they are seeking to enable accused unqualified individuals to work on more releases, including the release of Abdullah Al-Senussi. The Mufti: The religiously mandated duty is to summon the accused and investigate him. It is not permissible to conceal. Whoever conceals an accused, whoever he may be – the Public Prosecutor, the Minister of Justice, or any other officials – is a partner to him. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: (Whoever introduces an innovation or harbors an innovator, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all mankind). He made the perpetrator of the violation and the one who concealed him equal, by saying, (Whoever introduces an innovation or harbors an innovator). The Mufti: The questioner mentioned the decision of the Minister of Economy to prevent the import of goods except through letters of credit. This deprives small traders of importing many goods that the market desperately needs. The Mufti: Oh Minister of Economy, this decision ignites the markets further, on top of the existing fire. The Mufti: Those who are enabled to open letters of credit among traders are few in number and do not meet the market's needs, not even half or a tenth of them. The Mufti: These holders of letters of credit bring luxury goods that are smuggled: screens, telephones, cars, and so on. The Mufti: Whoever knows the market's need for goods and equipment, numbering in the thousands, is only known by small traders who live the market day by day. Preventing them from importing means the disappearance of these goods, and their disappearance will worsen the situation and increase the prices of goods. The Mufti: A small trader who bought from the parallel market for fifty thousand dollars, for example, and bought goods with it and paid for them, if you prevent him from importing them, what will he do? This decision is unfair to all parties, the trader and the consumer. The Mufti: A decision like this, Oh Minister of Economy, requires preparation with the Central Bank. Does it have the capacity to meet all the requests of small traders, who are thousands? The Mufti: This decision is only appropriate if the Central Bank is capable of providing foreign currency to every licensed owner who brings him the document for the commodity's supply, and this is unlikely. The Mufti: The Ministry of Economy asks small traders not to import except through credit, and credit is not available. The Ministry of Economy's stance in this request is like someone who said: I threw him into the sea, tied up, and told him, 'Beware, beware of getting wet.'
