A court in Algeria has sentenced a man who posted satirical cartoons mocking the authorities on Facebook to three years in prison.
Walid Kechida has been in detention for the past 10 months after he posted a cartoon criticising the Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune.
His Facebook page Hirak Memes is named after the anti-government movement that organised mass protests throughout 2019, which helped force the longtime President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to step down.
