Chaima Issa, a writer and human rights activist, holds a placard featuring the portrait of jailed opposition figure Jaouhar Ben Mbarek as she participates in a demonstration outside the Court of Appeal in Tunis, Tunisia, on November 27, 2025. Charged in the so-called ''conspiracy against state security'' case, she appears before the court while remaining at liberty. The rally, organized by families of political prisoners, 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.
