Prisoners' Defence Committee Holds Press Conference Following Sentencing In 'Conspiracy Against State Security' Case In Tunis
Prisoners' families attend a press conference organized by the prisoners' defense committee, following the sentencing in the so-called ''conspiracy against state security'' case in Tunis, Tunisia, on April 21, 2025. The lawyers read the full list of prison sentences, which they consider excessively heavy and inappropriate. They also consider the trial politically motivated. Since February, Tunisia sees a wave of arrests of journalists, activists, judges, businessmen, and prominent opponents of Tunisian President Kais Saied, including the leader of the Ennahda party, Rached Ghannouchi, who is detained since April 2023.
