Solidarity Day In Support Of Suspended Media Outlet Nawaat In Tunis

Tunisian journalists sign a message of solidarity during a solidarity day that brings them together with human rights and civil society activists at the headquarters of the SNJT in Tunis, Tunisia, on November 13, 2025. The solidarity day supports journalists from the independent media outlet Nawaat after Tunisian authorities suspend its activities. Nawaat is a progressive, independent media association based in Tunisia. Its activities are suspended for one month by a decision of the Tunisian authorities on October 31. The suspension follows an administrative and financial audit and is seen by supporters as a political move to silence an independent media outlet amidst a broader crackdown on civil society. Nawaat frames it as an arbitrary measure intended to silence free expression and commits to complying with the suspension while vowing to appeal the decision in court.
