🚨🇹🇳 FREE SPEECH ON TRIAL: POSTING IS A CRIME IN TUNISIA
In Tunisia, between 2017 and 2020, 40 bloggers, activists, and Facebook users were prosecuted for speaking out online.
Their “crimes”? Defamation, insulting state institutions, and “disturbing public order.”
• Ahmed El-Jedidi got a year in prison (later overturned) for criticizing a politician.
• Myriam Bribri faced 2 years in jail for calling out police violence.
• Emna Chargui? Six months for sharing a COVID-19 meme.
Tunisia’s 2014 Constitution promises free speech, but outdated laws keep turning opinions into offenses.
