Tunisian judges cite rising prison deaths
The Tunisian Judges Association confirmed a noticeable increase in death cases within prisons in Tunisia. They expressed concern over the detention conditions, which raise questions about the respect for legal and human rights guarantees for detainees. The association called for an immediate and independent judicial investigation to determine the causes and circumstances of each death, emphasizing the state's responsibility to ensure prisoners' rights to healthcare, physical safety, and dignity—especially under exceptional weather conditions and rising temperatures. They also urged improvements in detention conditions, reduction of overcrowding, and the establishment of clear protocols for dealing with critical health situations to ensure accountability and prevent responsible parties from escaping responsibility.
