Press Conference Warns Of Deteriorating Health Of Hunger-Striking Prisoner Jaouhar Ben Mbarek In Tunis
Chaima Issa, a prominent human rights activist and leader of the National Salvation Front, an opposition coalition, poses for photos while holding a portrait of Jaouhar Ben Mbarek as she attends a press conference organized by the Coordination of the Families of Political Prisoners in Tunis, Tunisia, on November 7, 2025. The event aims to warn about the deteriorating health of Jaouhar Ben Mbarek, a law professor, prominent opposition figure, and leader of the National Salvation Front. Jaouhar Ben Mbarek receives an initial sentence of 18 years in prison in the widely known ''Conspiracy Against State Security'' case. On a wild hunger strike for a week from his prison cell, Jaouhar Ben Mbarek is in critical condition, according to his family members and lawyers. According to his lawyers, the hunger strike stems from what he perceives as the politicization of the judiciary and the ill-treatment he suffers in prison. He also protests the holding of his trial remotely, via videoconference. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto)
