Friday's rally began after demonstrators observed a minute of silence for five young people who were killed late on Thursday in a stampede at a packed rap concert in Algiers.
Dozens more were injured in the crush as fans thronged an entrance to the August 20 Stadium, before a performance by Soolking, a rapper who has dedicated the song "La Liberte" (or Freedom) to the protest movement.
"We were supposed to celebrate six months of (rallies) today but yesterday's tragedy has plunged many families into mourning," protester Lamia Boukahari was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.
