The President of the National Union of Tunisian Journalists (SNJT), Zied Dabbar (center), gives an interview to the press as he participates in a 'silent' demonstration organized by the SNJT outside the Court of Appeal in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 2, 2025, in solidarity with the imprisoned journalist Chadha Hadj Mbarek. In a statement released yesterday, the SNJT calls for her release, for her trial to be conducted while she is at liberty, and for the dismissal of all charges against her. Chadha, sentenced to five years in prison in the first instance in the case known as 'Instalingo', appears on appeal before the judges. She faces charges of conspiracy against state security, disturbing public order, and insulting President Kais Saied. The case also involves other figures, including Ennahda Islamist party leader Rached Ghannouchi and former Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi. Instalingo, where Chadha is employed, is (or was) a company specializing in digital content creation, communication, and digital marketing. In recent years, the authorities under President Kais Saied accuse, charge, arrest, detain, or imprison journalists for doing their job. Tunisian journalists and civil society groups denounce what they describe as a crackdown on the freedom of the press aiming to silence them. International human rights groups and press freedom advocates, including Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders (RWB; French: Reporters sans frontieres; RSF), condemn the imprisonment of Chadha Hadj Mbarek and call for her immediate release.

22 November 2025

The placard reads '65% of women victims of feminicides have contacted the judiciary'. Women from the collective NousToustes and other organizations such as SUD or Amnesty International organize a nationwide march in France against feminicides, sexual and sexist violence, and patriarchy. Several thousand people, women and men, take to the streets for this day. They demand more resources from the French government to protect women beaten, injured, or killed by their partners. They say that 65% of killed women came to the police to make a complaint, but the police classified the complaints. They also ask the police to have better training to pay attention to these complaints. Feminist organizations demand at least EUR2.6 billion per year as necessary to tackle violence against women. In 2023, more than 270,000 women are victims of violence by their partners in Toulouse, France, on November 22, 2025.
