Human Rights Watch criticizes Saied for rights suppression
Human Rights Watch has revealed that since 2024, Tunisian authorities have been intensifying their campaigns against civil society organizations and their staff, employing legal, judicial, and administrative tools such as prosecutions, arrests, and financial investigations to disrupt the activities of local and international associations. The measures have primarily targeted organizations focused on assisting refugees and migrants, as well as combating racism, affecting more than 47 individuals, with some held for over 14 months. The organization also condemned arbitrary prison sentences imposed on human rights activists, including defender Sadiya M'sabi, who was sentenced to 8 years in prison. Additionally, the authorities have suspended the activities of 20 associations and prohibited some from financial operations or access to prisons, representing a broad crackdown on civil liberties in the country. Human Rights Watch called on the Tunisian government to end these illegal restrictions and to allow full freedoms of association, assembly, and expression.
