Algerian authorities have arrested 7 people in connection with the tragic accident that killed 5 children, with some calling for the suspension of school trips organized on weekends.
Last Saturday’s incident at Sablat Beach was dubbed “Black Saturday” by media and social media, as the drowning incident shocked Algerians and led to calls for a review of school trips to ensure the safety of children.
Some comments on social media rejected the fact that some allow their children to join such trips, saying that the responsibility lies with families who allow their children to travel to distant areas without checking the seriousness of the organizers.
Several associations, political parties and journalists also called for revealing all the circumstances of the incident and taking strict measures to prevent its recurrence.
On Monday, the prosecutor’s office at the Hussein Dey court issued an order to open an in-depth investigation into the incident, and seven people were detained pending the completion of the investigation.
The school manual on school accidents stipulates that the State shall bear all expenses resulting from accidents to pupils enrolled in public school institutions.
A benefit is also granted to pupils injured as a result of a school accident, with a disability equal to or greater than 10%, and this income is granted for a period of five years.
Algerian legislation indicates that a school accident acquires a civil character resulting from negligence and negligence on the part of the person directly responsible for it and acquires a penal character in the case of beating or intentional wounding leading to death.
