Demonstrators hold placards featuring the portrait of the detained civil society activist and former Executive Director of NGO 'Terre d'Asile Tunisie', Sherifa Riahi, and those of other defendants, as well as a large banner reading ''Solidarity is not a crime'', during a demonstration organized outside the Court of First Instance in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 15, 2025. The rally brings together supporters, feminist activists, women's rights organizations, and civil society groups to show solidarity with the defendants, members of the NGO 'Terre d'Asile Tunisie', the Tunisian branch of the French NGO 'France Terre d'Asile', as they appear before the court for their first hearing. The advocate for migrant aid and refugee rights faces charges over allegations of forming an alliance to shelter irregular migrants and facilitating their stay. International human rights groups, including Amnesty International, condemn the charges as ''bogus'' and part of a trend criminalizing humanitarian aid in Tunisia. They demand the immediate release of Sherifa Riahi and the other defendants and for the charges to be dropped, citing the ''politically motivated nature of the case''.

A woman demonstrator makes the victory sign while holding a placard reading in Arabic ''you are not my president, I did not vote for you'' during a mass march that brings together thousands of supporters of opposition parties across the political spectrum, human rights and civil society activists, and ordinary Tunisians, in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 6, 2025, to protest under the banner ''Opposition Is Not A Crime.'' They decry what they call a growing crackdown on President Kais Saied's critics and opposition parties, as well as on civil liberties, individual rights, freedom of expression, and press freedom. Participants denounce what they describe as an increasingly authoritarian and dictatorial one-man rule by the Tunisian president. The crowd expresses solidarity with opposition figures imprisoned in connection with the case known as the ''conspiracy against state security,'' demanding their release. Under President Kais Saied's rule since 2021, Tunisia sees the dissolution of parliament, the dismissal of the government, the adoption of a new constitution, the dismissal of dozens of judges, the arrest of political opponents, critics, and journalists, while the activities of dozens of organizations are suspended.
