Rally To Release Of Tunisian Journalist Imprisoned In Tunis

Demonstrators are raising placards that read, ''Attacking the freedom of the press is an attack against the citizen's right to information,'' while other placards read, ''No to Decree 54,'' during a rally staged by the National Union of Tunisian Journalists (SNJT) in Tunis, Tunisia, on March 6, 2024, in solidarity with Tunisian journalist Khalifa Guesmi. Journalists participating in the rally are protesting the imprisonment of their colleague and are calling for his release. Khalifa Guesmi was imprisoned after being sentenced on appeal to five years in prison under anti-terrorism legislation. The rally is coinciding with the examination by the Court of Cassation of the journalist's case. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto)
