Rights concerns in trial
The “Freedom for Tunisia” Observatory criticized the decision to send former Tunisian Prime Minister Youssef Chahed and former minister Mehdi Ben Gharbia to trial in a case involving the financing of opposition groups, warning against the use of counterterrorism laws against political figures. On Monday, the Court of First Instance in the capital postponed their trial. The case includes allegations of terrorism, conspiracy and financing opposition groups, and stems from an investigation opened in 2024 following a tip-off about an alleged conversation in prison. The Observatory called for the evidence to be disclosed and for the defense to be allowed to examine and challenge it. It also called for an independent, public trial that respects the presumption of innocence, and for the case to be adjudicated without delay.
