Demonstrators hold up signs featuring the portrait of Ahmed Najib Chebbi with text in Arabic, ''Release Ahmed Najib Chebbi,'' as they participate in a rally that brings together relatives and members of the National Committee in Support of Political Prisoner Ahmed Najib Chebbi. The rally is organized outside the Court of Appeal in Tunis, Tunisia, on December 29, 2025. Participants aim to express solidarity with the imprisoned prominent opposition figure Ahmed Najib Chebbi (or Ahmed Nejib Chebbi) as the court holds a hearing to examine an objection to the 12-year prison sentence issued against him in absentia in the case known as ''conspiracy against state security.'' Chebbi, 81, boycotts both the first-instance and appeal court hearings, denouncing what he describes as an ''unfair trial, unjust sentence, and unlawful detention.'' Most defendants in the case, including him, refuse to appear by videoconference, as ordered by the judge.
