AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoCybercrime Reform in Tunisia: President Kais Saied eased penalties under Decree 54, replacing prison for first-time “false news” offences with fines of 10,000–20,000 dinars, while repeat offenders can still face jail—an apparent retreat after rights groups and media freedom advocates criticized the law as a tool against journalists and activists. Prisoners’ Media Access: Ennahda condemned restrictions on prisoners’ access to media, backing Ahmed Nejib Chebbi’s hunger strike over what it calls a reversal of post-revolution gains and a move to isolate political detainees from outside information. Security Cooperation: The US delivered nearly $1m in security equipment to Tunisia’s intervention units and national guard to support crisis response and counter-terrorism training. Economic Strain in Daily Life: Despite 2.4% growth, Tunisia is seeing shortages of staple goods and bottled water, blamed on public finance constraints, distribution disruptions, and weak import and supply capacity. Regional Energy Diplomacy: Tunisia joined Algeria, Austria, Germany and Italy in Algiers for the SoutH2 green hydrogen corridor’s second ministerial meeting, ending with a joint declaration and plans to move from commitments toward technical and financial decisions.
