Kamel Daoud, the Franco-Algerian author who recently won the Goncourt Prize for his novel Houris, is being accused by an Algerian civil war survivor of using her personal story without consent. The allegations, which include claims of breaching medical confidentiality, have sparked legal action in Algeria.
Saâda Arbane, now 30, survived a brutal attack when she was six years old during Algeria's "black decade", between 1992 and 2002.
