Arab groups demand journalist Al-Yousufi's release
Arab journalists' unions and associations called for the immediate release of Tunisian journalist Mohamed El-Yousfi, Editor-in-Chief of "Al-Katiba" website, who is currently detained in Tunisia. They emphasized that his continued imprisonment reflects the deterioration of press freedom and media independence in the country. They also urged to end legal prosecutions against other journalists such as Ziad El-Hani, Mourad Zaghidi, and Bourhan Bessis, and to ensure their rights to defense and fair trial, while respecting judicial independence and journalists’ rights. This call comes after El-Yousfi was transferred to the hospital, with warnings that judicial persecutions threaten the right to information and undermine the watchdog role of the media. They affirmed that true democracy can only be realized through a free and independent press.
