Tunisian Journalists Warn of Kidnap Risks

The Tunisian National Union of Journalists has issued a warning about the escalating practices threatening press freedom. These include exploiting journalists' content on social media platforms outside their original contexts, with the aim of defamation, incitement, and extortion. The union noted that these campaigns involve reposting statements and articles in ways that expose journalists to pressure or cast doubt on their independence. Some pages impersonate media institutions or spread misleading content that fosters false confidence in disinformation. The union called on authorities to confront the phenomenon of impersonating media personnel and urged respect for journalistic ethics. It also emphasized the right of journalists to work freely and safely, and rejected all forms of defamation or political exploitation that threaten the credibility of the media and the stability of journalists.
