In a post on social media platforms among Arab native speakers, users circulated what appeared to be a photo of a news story on the Al-Jazeera website saying that “the Algerian presidency threatens to imprison any journalist who talks about the president’s health. without official authorization “.

The post was distributed with a comment that read: “The simplest rights are to ask about the president’s health, regardless of one’s orientation or resistance to the system, and the simplest ethics is to ask about the patient as well.” However, the whole story is incorrect.

None of the official accounts affiliated with the Presidency of the Republic issued a similar threat or directive with the same meaning, and moreover, Anas Fouda, the official in charge of Al-Jazeera Net, denied in statements to Agence France-Presse that the its institution has published this material on any of its platforms.
