Solidarity Day In Support Of Suspended Media Outlet Nawaat In Tunis
Prominent Tunisian journalist Zied El-Heni gives a speech during a solidarity day that brings together Tunisian journalists, human rights activists, and civil society activists at the headquarters of the National Syndicate of Tunisian Journalists (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.
