Tunisie Telegraphthe Decree 54 Returns to Cabinet
The decree number 54 of 2022 concerning the fight against crimes related to information and communication systems has returned to the legislative debate front after the Council of Ministers discussed a draft revision of it on September 29. Although the specific chapters that will be affected by the amendments or the nature of the proposed changes have not yet been disclosed, parliamentary documents indicate a previous tendency to completely remove Article 24, which prescribes a five-year prison sentence and a fine of 50,000 dinars for using information systems to spread false news and rumors. The draft parliamentary amendments also propose modifications to Articles 9 and 10, related to procedures for accessing data and intercepting communications, along with the addition of procedural safeguards. The official government stance has not yet clarified whether it will agree to delete, modify, or strengthen the provisions, raising questions about the extent to which the penal aspect of the decree will be revised. While parliamentary precedents lean toward repealing Article 24, the final text from the government is still awaited.
