Audiovisual Freedom Law Sparks Parliament Debate
Deputy Thabet Al-Abed proposed that the draft law on audiovisual freedom and the organization of the Communications Authority falls under the jurisdiction of the Rights and Freedoms Committee. However, the Parliament's Office rejected the request to reconsider its referral to the General Legislation Committee, despite the committee itself withdrawing from the issue. They justified this by stating that the matter concerns constitutional rights and freedoms. The deputy expressed concerns that ongoing insistence on keeping it away from the specialized committee indicates unclear motives and threatens the future of the media sector in Tunisia, especially in the absence of an effective independent authority and amid ongoing debates over media professionalism and independence.
