Tunisie Telegrapher: Imprisonment replaced by fine in telecom law
The President of Tunisia, Kais Saied, issued a decree to amend and modify Article 24 of Law No. 54 of 2022 on combating communication crimes. The aim was to introduce changes to the penalties for spreading false news and defamation via social networks. In the new revision, imprisonment for those committing such offenses has been abolished for the first time and replaced with a monetary fine ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 Tunisian dinars. These offenses include spreading false information, harming the rights of others, and endangering public order. Repeat offenders face a six-month prison sentence and a fine of 50,000 dinars, with penalties doubled if the crimes target public officials. The decree takes effect immediately.
