Acclaimed writer Kamel Daoud is being sued in France for invasion of privacy by an Algerian survivor of a 1990s massacre in the north African country, a source said on Friday, as tensions mount between the two countries.
In 2024, the French-Algerian writer won France's top literary prize, the Prix Goncourt, for his novel "Houris", centred on Algeria's civil war between the government and Islamists in the 1990s.
