Tunisian Opposition Figures Receive Lengthy Prison Sentences

ai generated text

Tunisian court has handed down prison sentences ranging from 13 to 66 years to around 40 opposition figures, including politicians, businessmen, and lawyers, on charges of conspiring against state security. The opposition claims the charges are fabricated and the trial is a symbol of President Kais Saied's authoritarian rule.

    1. President Saied has weaponised Tunisia's judicial system to go after political opponents and dissidents, throwing people in arbitrary detention on flimsy evidence and pursuing them with abusive prosecutions.
