Tunisie Telegraph: Journalists' Syndicate Refuses to Condemn Haitham Al-Makki
The Tunisian National Journalists Syndicate expressed its strong denunciation of the one-year prison sentence issued against journalist Heitham Al-Meki, following his trial related to a social media post addressing the conditions of Habib Bourguiba Hospital in Sfax. It highlighted that the case underwent a legal reclassification from an annulment of the lawsuit to a conviction based on Article 86 of the Communications Code. The union voiced concerns over the use of penal provisions to imprison individuals for issues of expression and publication, which threatens press freedom and impacts its role in fostering public debate. It called for the support of the defense team and the reversal of the verdict, emphasizing the importance of respecting standards of journalistic and expressive freedom.
