Tunisia detainee deaths raise concern
Tunisian and international human rights organizations have sounded the alarm regarding the worsening conditions in Tunisian prisons during the intense heatwaves, which has led to the death of at least 23 inmates this summer, according to unofficial sources. The prisons are facing overcrowding, and shortages of ventilation and water, while the prison administration denies these allegations. The organizations link the rising temperatures to climate change and are calling for independent investigations, amid growing concerns for the lives of prisoners, especially as the health of some detainees—known for their opposition to the authorities—continues to deteriorate.
