Press Council urges Muhammad Al-Yousfi's release
The Tunisian Press Council emphasized the necessity of releasing journalist Mohamed Al-Yousfi, who was detained while participating in a talk show about the water crisis. It warned of increasing restrictions that threaten press freedom and lead to a decline in media diversity. The council considered the detention a serious indicator of a threatening work environment, characterized by a shrinking space for dialogue and criticism, and an atmosphere of fear and self-censorship. This situation jeopardizes citizens' right to access reliable and transparent information. The council called for respecting judicial independence, safeguarding journalists' rights—especially the confidentiality of sources—and demanded Al-Yousfi’s immediate release to ensure the continuation of accountability and critique in Tunisian media.
