Al-Gharibi: Fires in Tunisia demand death penalty
Recently, Tunisia has experienced a wave of major wildfires, including the Barga Fire in Siliana Governorate, which broke out last Thursday and nearly spread towards the Qasr Al-Lamsa area in Kairouan Governorate due to strong winds. Civil protection teams, the army, and security forces managed to contain the blaze. Some fires are suspected to be deliberately set, and Tunisian law can prove this through eyewitness testimonies, photography, and official police reports, with punishments ranging from 16 days to life imprisonment. Demands include amending laws and tightening penalties, in addition to increasing media and electrical surveillance to prevent such disasters. Over the summer, more than 13,400 fires were extinguished, destroying over 14,000 hectares of forests.
