Supporters Rally Outside Tunis Court For Imprisoned Opposition Leader Nejib Chebbi
Demonstrators shout slogans while holding up a sign reading in Arabic, ''They imprison us, strangle us, brutalize us, exile us, and humiliate us,'' as others raise a banner featuring a portrait of Ahmed Najib Chebbi with text in Arabic, ''Power is with the authorities, and justice is on our side,'' during a rally that brings together relatives and members of the National Committee in Support of Political Prisoner Ahmed Najib Chebbi organized outside the Court of Appeal in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 29, 2025. Participants aim to express solidarity with the imprisoned prominent opposition figure Ahmed Najib Chebbi (or Ahmed Nejib Chebbi) as the court holds a hearing to examine an objection to the 12-year prison sentence issued against him in absentia in the case known as ''conspiracy against state security.'' Chebbi, 81, boycotts both the first-instance and appeal court hearings, denouncing what he describes as an ''unfair trial, unjust sentence, and unlawful detention.'' Most defendants in the case, including him, refuse to appear by videoconference, as ordered by the judge. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto)
