Someone holds a placard reading 'Recusation of the judges for a fair Justice' in front of the Administrative Court of Appeal of Toulouse. A rare hearing takes place in the Administrative Court of Appeal of Toulouse, France, on November 28, 2025. Plaintiffs against the A69 are joined by the SAF (Union of French Lawyers) to request the recusation of two judges from the panel who participated in a ruling that reauthorized the continuation of works on the planned A69 highway. Plaintiffs have already asked these judges to recuse themselves, but they refused. Plaintiffs go to the Administrative Court of Appeal, stating that these judges must be recused to protect the confidence of French citizens in the administrative courts and the entire judicial system. Lawyers also plead for the impartiality of the justice system. More than a dozen lawyers are present, as this is a very rare case in the French justice system. According to custom, if a judge has already judged a case, they recuse themselves if the same case returns to court. The main association 'La Voie est Libre' (i.e., 'The Way is Free') wants the construction of the highway to be stopped until all judicial decisions on the content are made. Opponents of this project say that the reprofiling of the N126 will be sufficient for the 6,000 vehicles planned per day and would cost far less money. The A69 highway will cost EUR512 million (in 2018 euros without inflation) for 54 kilometers.

Protesters attend a demonstration that brings together supporters of the National Salvation Front, the Republican Party, and families of imprisoned prominent opposition figures in Tunis, Tunisia, on November 15, 2025. The demonstration aims to show solidarity with prominent opposition figures sentenced to long prison terms at first instance in the case known as the ''conspiracy against state security,'' and who are currently on hunger strike in prison. For more than two weeks, political opponent and law professor Jaouhar Ben Mbarek, who is sentenced to a long prison term in the same case, is on a wild hunger strike in his prison cell. According to his lawyers and family, his health deteriorates, and he is reportedly violently assaulted in prison by both inmates and prison officers. In solidarity with Jaouhar Ben Mbarek, other prominent political figures including Rached Ghannouchi, Ghazi Chaouachi, and Issam Chebbi, imprisoned in the same case, as well as former judge and lawyer Ahmed Souab, also start a hunger strike. They all decry the 'politically motivated' convictions, the poor conditions of their incarceration, and a trial that does not meet the standards of a fair and impartial process.
