Tunis Rally Supports Prisoners Convicted In State Security Conspiracy Amid Appeal Hearing
Ahmed Nejib Chebbi, a prominent political figure of the Tunisian opposition, poses for photos as he takes part in a demonstration staged outside the Court of Appeal in Tunis, Tunisia, on November 27, 2025. Charged in the so-called ''conspiracy against state security'' case, he appears before the court while remaining at liberty. The rally is organized by families of political prisoners and takes place to show solidarity with prominent opposition leaders jailed in the same case. The demonstration coincides with the third remote appeal hearing in the case, as prisoners involved refuse to appear before the court remotely. Two of the prisoners are currently on hunger strike in their cell to protest what they describe as politically motivated sentences, harsh prison conditions, a crackdown on human rights, and an unfair trial.
