Tunisia Deputies Seek Immunity Removal
Deputy Fatima Al-Masdi confirmed that she requested to have her parliamentary immunity lifted in order to facilitate legal proceedings related to a political case dating back to 2019. She indicated that she does not insist on maintaining the immunity to expedite the judicial process. The People's National Assembly held a secret session to consider requests for lifting immunity, which have amounted to approximately 47 since the parliament's inception. Most of these requests concern electoral violations and criminal cases. Currently, there is an ongoing discussion about the principle of immunity as a safeguard for independence versus the need to uphold justice. The outcome of the session depends on parliamentary voting, with official clarifications awaited regarding the final decisions.
