In the page of Abbassi Madani, I plan to include facts about his political career that were not mentioned in the article. Such examples include the fact that he organized peaceful protests as well as the investigation lead by the UN Human Rights commitee against his unlawful detention in house arrest. Examples of such sentences include:


 * 1) In 1990, the Algerian Government pushed a new electoral law which was unanimously condemned by all Algerian opposition parties. Protesting against this law, Dr. Abbassi helped organize a general strike and massive peaceful demonstrations in Algiers.
 * 2) An attack by armed forces ended the protest with over 1000 casualties.
 * 3) After the strike, Dr. Abbassi was arrested and sentenced to 12 years imprisonment following charges of threatening state security.
 * 4) The UN Human Rights Committee investigated the arrest made by the military court of Blida, during its 89th session in New York in 2007
 * 5) The committee concluded that the trial and sentencing of Dr. Abbassi by the military court constituted a violation of article 14 of the Covenant.
