Sabeha Sansal, daughter of the Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal, has publicly appealed for French President Emmanuel Macron to intervene in her father's detention in Algeria. She has criticized the French government's silence and lack of response to her repeated attempts to seek support, including an unanswered letter sent months ago. Sabeha described the situation as a daily suffering for her family, highlighting that they have no information about her father's condition or detention circumstances and have been denied visitation rights. Supporters and commentators, including Arnaud Benedetti, founder of Boualem Sansal's support committee, and journalist Vincent Roy, have echoed concerns about the French government's perceived reluctance to confront Algeria or defend Sansal more assertively. Manuel Valls, French Minister of Overseas Territories, emphasized that the imprisonment of a writer should mobilize France, known as the country of enlightenment and human rights. Sabeha also urged Macron to restore dialogue with Algeria's president to secure her father's release and called for a tougher stance on Algerian visas. The writer Richard Millet described Sansal as becoming a martyr, while public figures like Pascal Praud criticized the silence from the French presidency. Despite the outcry, the French government's response remains minimal, prompting calls for greater action to support Boualem Sansal.
