Prisoners' families chant slogans and make the victory sign during a demonstration they hold in front of the court in Tunis, Tunisia, on April 21, 2025, following the sentencing in the so-called ''conspiracy against state security'' case. They protest against what they consider excessively heavy and inappropriate prison sentences and view the trial as politically motivated. The protest takes place before the start of a press conference organized by the prisoners' defense committee. Since February, Tunisia experiences a wave of arrests of journalists, activists, judges, businessmen, and prominent opponents of Tunisian President Kais Saied, including the leader of the Ennahda party, Rached Ghannouchi, who is detained since April 2023.
