Ces massacres rappellent que les dirigeants qui massacrent leur propre peuple continueront à commettre des atrocités tant qu'ils n'auront pas à rendre des comptes.

Hey @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @eudiplomacy.bsky.social - Do you notice #Tunisia 's fall in authoritarianism, with 0 reaction from your side? Is a more repressive country in #EU's interest?

Speechless Europe has for sure no leverage.

Les autorités tunisiennes ont arrêté 3 activistes de premier plan condamnés sur la base d'accusations injustifiées de complot et de terrorisme.

Ces arrestations constituent la dernière étape du plan du président Kais Saied pour éliminer toute alternative à son pouvoir personnel.

Tunisian authorities recently arrested three prominent activists convicted on unjust charges of conspiracy and terrorism.

The arrests are the latest step in President Kais Saied’s scheme to eliminate any alternative to his one-man rule.

#Tunisia 's arrest of prominent activists, following flawed conspiracy trial, should raise #EU's concerns, no?

Instead, @eudiplomacy.bsky.social remain loudly silent, emboldening Kais Saied's repression.

The arrest of Ayachi Hammami, a prominent human rights lawyer, was the latest sign of #Tunisia’s backsliding into authoritarianism. “He wasn’t punished for any crime, but for standing up against oppression and defending human rights.” @hrw.org

Hearing disturbing news that Tunisian HRD & prominent lawyer Ayachi Hammami was arrested yesterday to serve a 5-year prison sentence on trumped up terrorism charges; I have urged the Tunisian authorities to stop criminalising HRDs & politicising the judiciary.

A Tunis Appeal Court last week sentenced 34 defendants in the politically motivated “Conspiracy Case” to between 5 and 45 years in prison. These harsh sentences stem from a gross distortion of the justice system and are only meant to silence dissent.

Is EU's utter silence on #Tunisia's repressive turn its way to implement @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu's deal? It's a blow to principles; it's also poor policy

#Tunisia: Harsh sentences were issued in the notorious "conspiracy case" following sessions marred by serious violations. While some defendants were acquitted, other sentences included 45 years in prison.

👉 Tunisian authorities should revert these unjust sentences & release all political detainees.

صدرت أحكام قاسية في استئناف "قضية التآمر" سيئة الصيت في #تونس إثر جلسات تخللتها خروقات جسيمة. بينما تمت تبرئة بعض المتهمين، شملت الأحكام السَّجن 45 عاما.

ينبغي للسلطات التونسية إلغاء هذه الأحكام الجائرة والإفراج عن جميع المعتقلين السياسيين.

Relieved to see aid workers on trial yesterday in #Tunisia can go free. But only because they already spent their sentence in jail.

Colleagues from the Tunisian Refugee Council never have been charged in the first place.
