✍️ BY: Dzair Tube
Algiers – October 2025 – The media group Dzair Tube has announced its decision to file a formal lawsuit before the Algerian judiciary against the Qatar-based journalist Abd Ennacer El Bar, following his defamatory attacks targeting both the organization and its Chairman and CEO. In addition to the legal action in Algeria, the institution has resolved to submit a complaint and grievance to the Qatari Ministry of Information and to pursue a separate lawsuit before Qatari courts.
The management of Dzair Tube expressed deep regret that an Algerian journalist residing in Qatar has resorted to disseminating posts tarnishing the reputation of the institution and its journalists. The statement emphasized that such behavior does not represent either the ethics of Algerian journalism nor the professionalism of Qatari media, which is internationally recognized for its adherence to integrity and journalistic decorum.
This legal move comes in direct response to a series of social media posts published by El Bar on his Facebook account, in which he launched insulting and defamatory remarks against journalist Maamar Gani, Chairman and CEO of the Dzair Tube Media Group. The posts included personal attacks, slander against the group, and disrespectful references to the Minister of Communication, demonstrating a blatant lack of civility and professional ethics.
In its statement, Dzair Tube strongly condemned such unethical conduct—particularly from someone who claims the title of journalist—and deplored the use of offensive and indecent language directed at a fellow Algerian journalist and at a sovereign state official. The institution called upon all Qatari media bodies to intervene and put an end to such disgraceful behavior emanating from an Algerian journalist residing in Qatar—conduct that discredits the noble profession of journalism.
Furthermore, Dzair Tube reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy toward any journalist or individual, regardless of their profession, who dares to issue offensive, defamatory, or obscene statements against the institution or its staff. It declared its firm intention to pursue all necessary legal actions to defend its rights and prevent the recurrence of such disgraceful practices that violate every ethical and moral foundation of responsible journalism.
