AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Press Freedom Under Pressure: Tunisian journalists protested after the detention of investigative journalist Mohamed Yousfi, editor-in-chief of Al-Qatiba, as he was barred from entering Express FM for an interview; critics say the illicit enrichment and money-laundering charges are being used to intimidate independent voices under President Kais Saied. Courts and Civic Space: The case adds to a wider pattern of arrests and harsh rulings against journalists, opposition figures and civil society, with rights groups warning Tunisia is sliding into systematic repression. Human Rights Watch Alarm: Human Rights Watch said Tunisia’s crackdown has hardened into systematic repression since 2021, targeting NGOs, journalists and political opponents through prolonged detention, prosecutions and administrative pressure. EU Push for Pluralism: The EU urged Tunisian authorities to ensure political pluralism and fair-trial guarantees, criticizing the use of communications with diplomats as grounds for charges in the “conspiracy against state security” case. Regional Diplomacy: Tunisia chaired the Arab League Council session in Cairo, with the agenda focused on Palestine and escalating regional tensions, including developments in the Gulf and Arab crises. Arab League Appeal: A non-violence group urged Arab leaders to pardon prisoners of conscience and tackle youth unemployment and irregular migration. Tunisia-Vietnam Trade Talks: Vietnam’s ambassador visited Tunis to boost investment and cooperation, including education, software outsourcing, electric vehicles, textiles, olive oil and energy. Global Rights Context: UN High Commissioner Volker Türk praised dialogue-first handling of protests in India while warning against repression elsewhere.
