Opposition protesters, numbering in the hundreds to thousands, came together in central Algiers on Saturday but were barred from gathering in May 1st Square, where Algerian opposition leaders had asked supporters to turn out for fresh anti-regime protests in the North African country.
Some were able to enter but were beaten up and systematically dispersed. Others gathered in surrounding streets.
