INTERVIU. Scriitorul Kamel Daoud, condamnat la 3 ani de închisoare pentru un roman, mesaj pentru Europa și România: „E ușor să pierzi o țară. Islamiștii profită de sistemul democratic, nu trebuie să ne temem să-i criticăm”

Kamel Daoud, an Algerian writer sentenced to three years in prison for his novel "Huriile," discusses the fragility of democracy and the need to criticize Islamists without fear of being labeled Islamophobic. He reflects on the impact of his condemnation on his life, including the inability to return to Algeria and the isolation he feels from friends. Daoud emphasizes the importance of cultural and educational battles in the West and highlights the political nature of his trial, which he believes is disproportionate. He acknowledges the risks faced by those who read his work in Algeria and expresses solidarity with those who resist oppression in their homeland.
