Algiers (dpa) – Algerian police have dispersed dozens of protesters who tried to gather in the capital Algiers to express their rejection of the ongoing presidential election.
The security forces used batons to break up the demonstrators who started to gather near Grand Post square, which has been a focal point for anti-government rallies this year.
The protesters were chanting against the "farcical presidential elections."
The North African country has been roiled by mass anti-government rallies for months.
