Tunisian journalist Mohamed Yousfi detained
Freedom of the press in Tunisia is facing significant deterioration. The police arrested prominent journalist Mohamed Al-Yousfi, who was preparing to participate in a radio program, as part of a crackdown following his criticisms of President Kaïs Saïed's policies. Human rights organizations, including the Union of Journalists and Amnesty International, criticize Decree 54 issued in 2022, which hampers journalists' work and is exploited to file legal cases against them on charges related to spreading false news and defamation, in addition to financial lawsuits that threaten their professional livelihood. These practices are concerning and diminish the space for freedom of expression, despite the Tunisian authorities' claims that the law is applied equally to everyone.
