Tunisia activist jailed for protest call
The article mentioned that Tunisian authorities have detained activist Saifeddine Alarfaoui in prison after summoning him in connection with a Facebook post calling for protests against President Qais Saeed's regime. This comes as part of a crackdown in which the "Ness" movement rejects restrictions on freedoms, as legal actions against Alarfaoui are considered a violation of the rights to free expression and peaceful protest. The prosecutor's office used Article 86 of the Telecommunications Code, which punishes online offenses with imprisonment from one to two years, to pursue charges against him. He is the second person arrested by the regime after journalist Ziad Alhani, also detained over social media posts related to the protests. It is worth noting that authorities are implementing a campaign to tighten restrictions on activists and opposition figures, calling for the immediate release of Alarfaoui and respect for the right to free expression.
