Photo du défenseur des droits humains tunisien Ahmed Souab se tenant en extérieur, devant un mur clair. Il a les cheveux gris et courts, et porte des lunettes rectangulaires, une veste noire et une chemise sombre. Il regarde vers la droite de l'appareil photo avec une expression sérieuse et posée.
Je suivrai de près l'audience demain du DDH & avocat Ahmed Souab devant la Cour d'appel de Tunis. Le 31 octobre 2025, il avait été condamné à 5 ans d'emprisonnement & 3 ans de surveillance administrative sur la base d'accusations infondées. Il devrait être libéré immédiatement.

تونس: اعتقال المحامي البارز أحمد صواب تعسفا
سيخضع المحامي والمدافع عن حقوق الإنسان التونسي أحمد صواب، المحكوم بالسَّجن بتهم متعلقة بالإرهاب، لمحاكمة جديدة في الاستئناف في 12 فبراير/شباط 2026.
غدا جلسة محاكمة المحامي والمدافع المخضرم عن حقوق الإنسان أحمد صواب (69 عاما).
لم يفعل سوى الدفاع عن متهمين والتعبير عن آرائه، ومع ذلك لاحقته السلطات التونسية بتهم الإرهاب واعتقلته.
ينبغي لسلطات #تونس الإفراج عنه فورا والكف عن التنكيل بالمنتقدين والمعارضين.

Iran: Growing Evidence of Countrywide Massacres
Iran’s security forces have carried out mass killings of protesters after nationwide protests escalated on January 8, 2026. Thousands of protesters and bystanders are believed to have been killed.
#Iran : Les forces de sécurité ont procédé à des massacres de manifestants.
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.

Despite unjust detention of prominent lawyer Ayachi Hammami & dozens of other critics, repression in #Tunisia is still met by @eudiplomacy.bsky.social 's complicit silence.

Aujourd'hui, les autorités pénitentiaires restreignent arbitrairement les visites de ses avocats.
Dans une vidéo préenregistrée avant son arrestation, Hammami avait dit qu’il ferait de sa cellule « un espace de lutte ».

Sa situation est stable et il bénéficie d’un suivi médical selon sa famille, mais + de 40 jours, c’est un cap. Son état de santé peut gravement basculer à tout moment. Les autorités doivent mettre fin à sa détention & à celle des dizaines d’autres personnes arbitrairement détenues.

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: Prominent Activists Held in ‘Conspiracy Case’
Tunisian authorities have arrested three prominent activists in recent weeks after their unjust convictions in a sham trial on charges of conspiracy and terrorism.
#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.
@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu: time to shift gear, speak up.

باعتقال شيماء عيسى، والعياشي الهمامي، وأحمد الشابي بعد إدانتهم في "قضية التآمر"، تكون حكومة الرئيس قيس سعيّد قد وضعت الجزء الأكبر من المعارضة وراء القضبان.

Tunisia Arrests Opposition Figure in Widening Crackdown
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.

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.

Five employees of the Tunisian Council for Refugees will go on trial on November 24, 2025, amid a broader crackdown on civil society groups in Tunisia.
Among many politically-driven trials in #Tunisia is the one faced by 5 staff of Tunisian Council for Refugees, a key partner of the UN Refugee Agency .
