Tunisia opposition figures get jail terms
Gulf Today
|April 20, 2025
TUNIS: A Tunisian court handed downjail sentences of up to 66 years to multiple defendants, including prominent opposition figures, for national security offences, defence lawyers said on Saturday.
The trial, criticised by rights groups and decried by a defence lawyer as a "masquerade," is of unprecedented scale with around 40 defendants including vocal critics of President Kais Saied.
A prosecutor cited by local media announced sentences ranging from 13 to 66 years for the defendants, accused of "conspiracy against state security" and "belonging to a terrorist group."
However, a list communicated to AFP by several lawyers, and "subject to official confirmation," indicates minimum sentences of 4 years.
