Tunisian Journalists Warn of Media Decline
The National Union of Tunisian Journalists warned of a serious deterioration in press freedom and freedom of expression in Tunisia, amid increasing security, administrative, and economic pressures on the media sector. They announced the launch of a national and international campaign to support journalists who are imprisoned or prosecuted because of their work, emphasizing that the state of journalism is worsening as several journalists remain in prison and some are denied release, especially on issues related to freedom of expression and journalistic work. Additionally, they called for a review of the legal frameworks governing press freedom and for improving the independence of media institutions, noting the decline in Tunisia's ranking in international press freedom indicators.
