AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoTunisia Activism Under Pressure: Tunisian Gaza flotilla activist Wael Naouar is more than a month into an open-ended hunger strike in a prison outside Tunis, demanding financial-misconduct charges against him and three co-accused be dropped; critics say the case is part of a broader crackdown on activists, journalists and opposition since President Kais Saied’s 2021 power consolidation, while the government insists prosecutions are not political and that the judiciary is independent. Protest and Detention Fallout: After a Sept. 19 march in Tunis demanding the release of jailed Global Sumud Flotilla members, lawyers and activists report at least 11 arrests (figures vary), with detainees held over slogans chanted during the protest; Tunisia’s labour union, bar association and human rights league called for releases and warned against using security and courts to manage political conflict. Security Crackdown on Civil Society: Separate reporting says Tunisia detained 15 political and civil society activists in a sweeping security operation, including Ennahda figures and Republican Party and civil society activists, with rights groups demanding detainee lists, access to lawyers and guarantees for physical safety.
