AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Tunisia’s political squeeze deepens: Five years after Kais Saied’s 2021 power grab, Tunisians marked July 25 with renewed street protests over tighter political freedoms, worsening living conditions, and routine power cuts during a heatwave, while rights groups warn the media crackdown and detention of opposition figures have only hardened the crisis. Ghannouchi detention and regional pressure: Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim sent a letter to President Saied urging the release of jailed Ennahda leader Rached Ghannouchi on humanitarian grounds, citing his health and age—amid reports of restrictions on family and lawyers’ visits after a prison collapse. CPJ backs jailed journalists: The Committee to Protect Journalists and partners urged Tunisian authorities to end what they call unjust imprisonment of journalists and rights defenders, pointing to Saied-era cybercrime prosecutions and flawed proceedings. Energy stress hits communities: Separate reporting highlights how wildfires and failing infrastructure compound Tunisia’s vulnerability, with rural families describing losses and state support gaps during extreme conditions.
