Amnesty Urges Tunisia to Drop Conspiracy Sentences
Amnesty International has called on the Tunisian authorities to expedite the quashing of the verdicts issued in the "Conspiracy" case and to release all detainees held solely for their peaceful exercise of their human rights before the Court of Cassation session scheduled for September 3, 2026. The organization emphasized that this session represents the defendants' last opportunity, as it will either uphold the sentences or send the case back to the Court of Appeal. Amnesty International pointed out that the sentences, which target opposition figures, human rights advocates, and lawyers, amount to up to 45 years and are unjust. The organization demanded their annulment and the immediate release of all detainees. Additionally, it highlighted the worsening conditions of detention caused by heatwaves exceeding 45 degrees Celsius and the deterioration of the health of the detainees, especially the elderly, including opposition figure Ahmed Naji Shebbi, aged 82. The organization warned that the Court of Cassation's decision is the last chance and accused the Tunisian authorities of controlling the case, which they consider to be politically motivated. It emphasized the urgent need for the immediate release of all detainees for peacefully exercising their rights.
