World Press Freedom Day Celebrations In Tunisia
Portraits of detained Tunisian journalist Zied El-Heni are displayed on the headquarters of the National Union of Tunisian Journalists (SNJT) in Tunis, Tunisia, on May 2, 2026, during a rally in solidarity with detained journalists Mourad Zeghidi and Zied El-Heni. Tunisian media workers gather as part of the observance of World Press Freedom Day. Celebrated annually on May 3, World Press Freedom Day highlights the fundamental principles of press freedom, assesses the state of media independence worldwide, and commemorates the 1991 Windhoek Declaration calling for a free, independent, and pluralistic press. It was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993. (Photo by Chedly Ben Ibrahim/NurPhoto)
