Yacine Mebarki was also fined 10 million Algerian dinars ($77,400) after police found a Quran with a missing page in his home.
An Algerian activist received 10 years in prison for "inciting atheism" and insulting Islam, a sentence rights groups say is the longest yet for participants in the anti-government protests that erupted last year.
Yacine Mebarki, 52, was also convicted of “undermining national unity” and fined 10 million Algerian dinars ($77,400). He was arrested on Sept. 30 at his home in the eastern city of Khenchela.
