A few years ago, Algeria started to shut down the internet every year during the baccalaureate exams [1].

#4The shutdown aside, the “activist” is a separatist and terrorist. Quite the use of words there by wired and even Wikipedia.

"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter"
Whether the person is an activist depends on an individual's viewpoint.

It depends on the reader how far they wish to take this quote literally, but I'm pretty sure somebody who used rehabiliation centres to recruit suicide bombers [0, 1] would be termed a terrorist by most people today.

Separatist yes. I wouldn't go as far as calling him a terrorist until allegations of planned terrorist attacks are confirmed by neutral parties. While he's running an org that has voolent clashed with police, there hasn't been any proper terrorist attacks by Khalistanis this time around a la the bombing of Air India Flight 182 (and attempted bombing of Flight 301) back in the day.
More accurate to just call him a violent separatist.

"a dossier by intelligence agencies said."
I don't know how trustworthy a dossier of an government agency is.

Definition of a domestic terrorist per the FBI: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such as those of a political, religious, social, racial, or environmental nature.
I feel a lot of arguments on “that’s not terrorism” come in when it doesn’t affect the western countries. Just because an organization hasn’t committed any recent acts doesn’t mean they’re not terror organizations.
