Europe worries about Tunisia espionage verdict
The European Union expressed concern after the Tunisian Court of Cassation upheld harsh sentences against around 40 individuals, including opposition figures and human rights defenders, in the "conspiracy against state security" case. The sentences reportedly reach up to 45 years in prison. The EU called on Tunisian authorities to foster pluralism and allow independent voices, criticizing the use of diplomatic channels to issue charges. The final verdicts, issued before the session, sparked criticism, and human rights organizations demanded the release of the defendants, emphasizing that the case has a political nature amid the deterioration of freedoms since President Kais Saied seized power in 2021.
