Tunisian journalist sentenced to one year in prison for criticizing a court ruling in a colleague's case. The prosecution used telecommunications law rather than Tunisia's press framework, part of a wider crackdown on independent media. In October 2026 he was sentenced to four more years in prison on terrorism charges in a separate case.
