Ali Fawzi Rebaine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ali Fawzi Rebaine (Arabic: علي فوزي رباعين‎) (b. January 24, 1955 in Alger) is the leader of the Ahd 54 political party in Algeria.

He is an optician and human rights-activist, and claims to have founded Algeria's first independent human rights association.[1] In 1983-84 and again in 1985-87 he was imprisoned by the Algerian government, for endangering the security of the state and forming an illegal association.[2]

He founded Ahd 54 (named after the start of the Algerian War of Independence in 1954) and became its first secretary-general in 1991, and was reelected in 1998. The party has had little impact on Algerian politics. Ali Fawzi Rebaine ran as its candidate in the Algerian presidential election of 2004, but ended up with only 0,6% of the vote.
