Tunisian court affirms long prison terms
Tunisia's Court of Cassation has upheld sentences of up to 45 years in prison against opposition leaders in a case accusing them of attempting to overthrow the government and oust President Kais Saied. Reports indicate that the verdicts target political opponents and are part of a broad crackdown initiated by Saied since he seized control of the authorities in 2021, during which many dissidents were detained and restrictions were imposed on the judiciary and independent organizations. Human rights groups affirm that the ruling is unfair and reflects the ongoing authoritarian trend of the president, while Saied describes the case as an attempt to destabilize the country.
