Detainees' Families Protest Second Hearing In 'Conspiracy Against State Security' Case In Tunis
Dalila Ben Mbarek Msaddek, a lawyer and sister of detained political opposition figure Jawhar Ben Mbarek, makes the victory sign in the courtyard of the court after she enters to attend the court's second remote hearing of the so-called 'conspiracy against state security' case in Tunis, Tunisia, on April 11, 2025. Moments earlier, the relatives and families of detained political opposition figures gather in front of the court to support the detainees and protest against what they consider an unfair and invalid trial. They also demand the release of the detainees and accuse the Tunisian president, Kais Saied, of using the judiciary to persecute those who oppose his policies. In this context, professor and political opposition figure Jawhar Ben Mbarek, one of the most prominent detainees, is on hunger strike since March 30 in protest at his continued arbitrary detention. Since February, Tunisia sees a wave of arrests of journalists, activists, judges, businessmen, and politicians, including the leader of the Ennahda party, Rached Ghannouchi, who has been detained since April 2023.
