#EU should closely watch tmrw's Cassation hearing in infamous 'conspiracy case' - in which scores of critics & lawyers risk unjust, long prison sentence.
@eudiplomacy.bsky.social: press for sentences to be quashed & for release of all those detained in this case.

#Tunisia intensified crackdown on civil society - closing groups, detaining workers & weaponizing judicial proceedings. But for @ec.europa.eu@ec.europa.eu, it's business as usual.
Time to speak up & review EU's cooperation with Tunisia.
@hrw.org's report 👇
www.hrw.org/news/2026/09...
The Tunisian government has systematically cracked down on civil society groups & their members since 2024, all but shutting down the vibrant civic space that emerged after the 2011 revolution.
A new @hrw.org report documents the escalating repression in #Tunisiawww.hrw.org/news/2026/09...
Civil society plays a key role in holding power to account, delivering essential services, and advocating for human rights. By dismantling the space for civil society, the authorities are trying to ensure no one is left to hold them accountable.

أرادت كريستين الوصول إلى أوروبا هربا من الحرب في الكاميرون. انتهى بها الأمر بتعرضها للاغتصاب من قبل عنصر أمن في تونس، حيث تعيش عالقة مع المرض والعزلة.
على "الاتحاد الأوروبي" ربط التعاون مع تونس بإنهاء مثل هذه الانتهاكات بحق المهاجرين التي تعرضت لها كريستين. https://bit.ly/4x8c85d

في الذكرى الثالثة لتوقيع اتفاق ضبط الهجرة بين "الاتحاد الأوروبي" وتونس، بات في غاية الوضوح أن الاتفاق يغذي الانتهاكات ضد المهاجرين والتونسيين على حد سواء.
على قادة الاتحاد تعليق التمويل الذي يعزز الانتهاكات وربط الدعم المستقبلي بالتقدم في حقوق الإنسان في تونس.

In another devastating blow to human rights, Tunisian courts recently sentenced 8 rights defenders, including Saadia Mosbah & Sihem Bensedrine, to prison terms & fines in connection with their human rights work on accountability & against discrimination. #Tunisia@hrw.orgwww.hrw.org/news/2026/07...
By targeting leading human rights figures, the authorities are crushing their demands and quashing the quest for social justice in #Tunisia. They should immediately vacate their convictions, free those detained, and drop abusive prosecutions against rights defenders. @hrw.org

Mass anti-immigration protests have spread across South Africa, following weeks-long demonstrations and an arbitrary “deadline” for undocumented migrants to leave the country.
These demonstrations are causing a humanitarian crisis, with many people displaced and without food.
Après s’être abattue sur les opposants politiques, la « folie judiciaire » des autorités tunisiennes cible désormais les militants des droits humains ou journalistes qui dénoncent le tournant autoritaire.
Les pays européens restent tétanisés #Tunisiewww.lemonde.fr/idees/articl...

A Tunis court today sentenced Sihem Bensedrine, 75, a prominent human rights defender to 25 years in prison in apparent retaliation for her work. The sentence reflects the cruelty of the governments attempt to strangle human rights in Tunisia. www.hrw.org/news/2026/06...
Je suivrai de près l'audience demain du DDH & avocat Ahmed Souab devant la Cour d'appel de Tunis. Le 31 octobre 2025, il avait été condamné à 5 ans d'emprisonnement & 3 ans de surveillance administrative sur la base d'accusations infondées. Il devrait être libéré immédiatement.
غدا جلسة محاكمة المحامي والمدافع المخضرم عن حقوق الإنسان أحمد صواب (69 عاما).
لم يفعل سوى الدفاع عن متهمين والتعبير عن آرائه، ومع ذلك لاحقته السلطات التونسية بتهم الإرهاب واعتقلته.
ينبغي لسلطات #تونس الإفراج عنه فورا والكف عن التنكيل بالمنتقدين والمعارضين.

A Tunisian lawyer and human rights defender, Ahmed Souab, who was sentenced to prison on terrorism-related charges, will face a new trial on appeal on February 12. Tunisian authorities should immediately drop the unfounded charges and release him www.hrw.org/news/2026/02...

🧵L’avocat et figure historique des droits humains Ayachi Hammami est en grève de la faim depuis + de 40 jours🚨
Incarcéré à El Mornaguia, il continuer de protester contre sa détention injuste. #Tunisie#FreeAyachiHammami
Aujourd'hui, les autorités pénitentiaires restreignent arbitrairement les visites de ses avocats.
Dans une vidéo préenregistrée avant son arrestation, Hammami avait dit qu’il ferait de sa cellule « un espace de lutte ».
Hammami est un éminent avocat et figure historique des droits humains en Tunisie. Sous l’autoritarisme de Kais Saied, il a été ciblé parce que défenseur des droits humains.
Pour un aperçu de son combat :

Sa situation est stable et il bénéficie d’un suivi médical selon sa famille, mais + de 40 jours, c’est un cap. Son état de santé peut gravement basculer à tout moment. Les autorités doivent mettre fin à sa détention & à celle des dizaines d’autres personnes arbitrairement détenues.
Hammami avait été arrêté le 2/12. Le 27/11 un tribunal d’appel l’avait condamné avec 33 autres personnes à des peines allant de 5 à 45 ans pour des crimes liés à la sécurité et au terrorisme. Hammami a écopé de 5 ans à l’issue de ce simulacre de procès.

Les autorités tunisiennes ont arrêté 3 activistes de premier plan condamnés sur la base d'accusations injustifiées de complot et de terrorisme.
Ces arrestations constituent la dernière étape du plan du président Kais Saied pour éliminer toute alternative à son pouvoir personnel.
Tunisian authorities recently arrested three prominent activists convicted on unjust charges of conspiracy and terrorism.
The arrests are the latest step in President Kais Saied’s scheme to eliminate any alternative to his one-man rule.
باعتقال شيماء عيسى، والعياشي الهمامي، وأحمد الشابي بعد إدانتهم في "قضية التآمر"، تكون حكومة الرئيس قيس سعيّد قد وضعت الجزء الأكبر من المعارضة وراء القضبان.

The arrest of Ayachi Hammami, a prominent human rights lawyer, was the latest sign of #Tunisia’s backsliding into authoritarianism. “He wasn’t punished for any crime, but for standing up against oppression and defending human rights.” @hrw.orgwww.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/w...
Hearing disturbing news that Tunisian HRD & prominent lawyer Ayachi Hammami was arrested yesterday to serve a 5-year prison sentence on trumped up terrorism charges; I have urged the Tunisian authorities to stop criminalising HRDs & politicising the judiciary.

الأحكام الجائرة والقاسية التي صدرت الأسبوع الماضي في "قضية التآمر" المسيّسة تعود بـ #تونس خطوات عدة إلى الوراء
(تغطيتنا السابقة للمحاكمة https://bit.ly/47TyBb0)
A Tunis Appeal Court last week sentenced 34 defendants in the politically motivated “Conspiracy Case” to between 5 and 45 years in prison. These harsh sentences stem from a gross distortion of the justice system and are only meant to silence dissent.
www.reuters.com/world/africa...
#Tunisia: Harsh sentences were issued in the notorious "conspiracy case" following sessions marred by serious violations. While some defendants were acquitted, other sentences included 45 years in prison.
👉 Tunisian authorities should revert these unjust sentences & release all political detainees.
صدرت أحكام قاسية في استئناف "قضية التآمر" سيئة الصيت في #تونس إثر جلسات تخللتها خروقات جسيمة. بينما تمت تبرئة بعض المتهمين، شملت الأحكام السَّجن 45 عاما.
ينبغي للسلطات التونسية إلغاء هذه الأحكام الجائرة والإفراج عن جميع المعتقلين السياسيين.
