GENEVA: A lawyer acting on behalf of an unnamed Algerian citizen has filed a petition with a Swiss court requesting that Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, in Switzerland for medical treatment, be placed under a trusteeship for his own protection.
The TPAE court she sent the document to specialises in the protection of vulnerable adults and children.Advertisement He could also not have himself issued a statement this week that warned protestors in Algeria that troublemakers may try to infiltrate the demonstrations and create"chaos", according to the petition.Under the Hague Convention, it would usually fall to Algerian legal authorities to determine if a citizen should be placed under trusteeship, according to Nicolas Jeandin, a Swiss lawyer and law professor at the University of Geneva.
Bouteflika's campaign manager Abdelghani Zaalane insisted Thursday that the president's health raised"no worries". The petition called on the court to name one or several trustees to look out for Bouteflika's wellbeing.
