Rally To Release Of Tunisian Journalist Imprisoned In Tunis

A photographer is taking pictures of placards outside the National Union of Tunisian Journalists' headquarters (SNJT) in Tunis, Tunisia, on March 6, 2024. The placards read, ''Free Press we won't settle for less,'' and others say, ''No to the repressive Decree 54,'' during a rally staged by the SNJT 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)
