Tunisian Journalists Support Colleagues
The Court of Appeals in Tunisia issued a default judgment sentencing journalist Hamza Belhoumi and Enas Bougdiri to one year in prison and a monetary fine. This ruling relates to a case concerning a broadcast by Al Hiwar TV in 2015, which included statements attributed to former President Moncef Marzouki and sparked controversy over the accuracy of the information and the appropriateness of the context. Although the journalists made corrections and issued apologies that did not conflict with their professional responsibilities, the verdict was issued against them after a judicial process that lasted for years. The Tunisian National Journalists' Union is calling for a review of the case to ensure their right to defense.
