Decree 54 prompts debate on media freedoms in Tunisia
Tunisian authorities detained journalist Khoula Boukiram, a strong critic of President Qais Saeed, and sentenced her to four years in prison in absentia, as part of a crackdown on freedom of expression and negative criticism. Additionally, two separate rulings were issued against her under the strict electronic crimes law, reflecting an increase in judicial harassment against journalists and activists in Tunisia. The legal measures targeting opposition voices have accumulated since the parliament was dissolved and governance was declared by decree, leading to a significant decline in the country's press freedom index.
