Horria Saihi, Algeria

Saihi's work includes a documentary series on television censorship, which was canceled by the government after six months without explanation. She has also filmed testimonials with the families of victims of Islamic terrorism, revealing the impact of violence on daily life in Algeria. The assassination of approximately 70 journalists, including colleagues and friends, since 1992 has not changed her determination.

Saihi travels throughout Algeria to produce her reports and occasionally files stories with French television stations. In 1996, she produced documentaries on the clearing of landmines in Algeria and on women who had been raped. After Saihi spent months obtaining the approval of the Algerian government to work on these films, both were censored and have never been aired.

Saihi is still in hiding as the threats on her life continue.
