AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Energy & Human Cost: Tunisia’s rolling power cuts have hit households hard, with local reports saying five people died after oxygen machines failed during outages amid extreme heat, spotlighting STEG’s weakened capacity and years of underinvestment. Civic Space Under Pressure: Tunisia’s press freedom takes another blow as journalist Haythem El Mekki is sentenced to one year in prison over social media posts, adding to a pattern of legal harassment under broad telecom rules. Transitional Justice at Risk: The conviction of Sihem Bensedrine over her work at the Truth and Dignity Commission is condemned as a setback for accountability and a chilling effect on victims and human rights defenders. Rule of Law & Lawyers’ Protest: Lawyers staged a major nationwide strike demanding judicial independence and the release of detained colleagues, underscoring tensions between civil society and the justice system. Regional Governance Watch: Tunisia’s absence from an early AI governance push (WAICO) raises questions about how the country chooses international forums as standards race ahead.
