Tunisia's presidential amnesty includes rival candidate
The Tunisian President, Kais Saied, issued a presidential pardon that included 2,439 prisoners on the occasion of the anniversary of the Republic's declaration. Among those pardoned were Wadih Jary, the president of the Tunisian Football Association, and former presidential candidate Achi Zamal. Jary was released after serving a sentence related to sports-related issues and was detained previously, while Zamal benefited from the pardon after serving a 35-year sentence on charges of forgery during the electoral campaign in which Saied was a candidate. Authorities confirmed that the pardon also granted parole to 490 prisoners. This move is part of broader efforts towards political calming and national reconciliation.
