Prisoners in Tunisia Die from Heat
The situation in Tunisian prisons is deteriorating dangerously due to heatwaves, with 23 prisoners dying during the summer, including a Lebanese businessman and a Tunisian businessman. Authorities have not officially announced the causes or provided comprehensive data. The prisons are suffering from overcrowding, poor ventilation, and water shortages, with temperatures in some cells exceeding 45 degrees Celsius, threatening the lives of detainees—especially as heatwaves become more intense due to climate change. Human rights organizations are calling for independent investigations and access for NGOs to visit prisons, amid ongoing arrests and reports of mistreatment.
