The Liberty of the Printing Press in the Context of the Administrative Discipline Power and the Rules of Criminalization and Punishment: Algerian Legislation as a Model

Abstract

In spite of the unanimity of the constitutional and legal provisions in Algeria on enhancing the freedom of the printing press, its practical reality demonstrates that it has, hitherto, undergone the continual inflexibility of the administrative discipline power in one of the stages in either foundation or administration. After much cogitation of the criminal responsibility for the crimes of the press release, it can easily be deduced that the indirect message of the lawmaker aims to restrict the dynamics of this freedom through a condensed mass of the crimes relative to the circulation of news and information.
