AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoMass Protest: More than 3,000 people marched in Tunis on Saturday in the largest protest against President Kais Saied in years. Led by the UGTT and joined by opposition parties and civil society groups, they called for political prisoners’ release, restored freedoms and action on rising prices, unemployment and failing public services. The turnout showed unusual opposition unity, under heavy police presence. Press Freedom: Journalist Zied el-Heni faces terrorism-related charges that could carry up to 20 years in prison, after authorities examined material on his phone linked to his reporting. RSF says the case threatens protection of journalistic sources; around 20 Tunisian journalists face criminal charges, with four imprisoned, according to the journalists’ union. Economic Strains: Nearly seven years into Saied’s presidency, rising costs continue to squeeze households, while youth unemployment remains high and tight public finances limit the government’s options. Diplomacy: Foreign Minister Mohamed Ali Nafti is representing Tunisia at the OIC foreign ministers’ meeting in Baghdad, where discussions include regional issues and support for Palestinians.
