AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoCybercrime Reform in Tunisia: Tunisia has softened President Kais Saied’s Decree 54 by replacing up to five years in prison for “false news” first offences with fines of 10,000–20,000 dinars, while repeat offenders can still face jail—an issue rights groups say has been used against journalists and activists. Prisoners’ Media Access: Ennahda condemned restrictions on political prisoners’ access to media, backing Ahmed Nejib Chebbi’s open-ended hunger strike over being allowed only pro-authority newspapers and TV. Energy, Water, and Rights Under Strain: Human Rights Watch says Tunisia failed to ensure electricity and water during extreme summer heat, leaving hospitals and water pumping stations without power and endangering detainees, while authorities blamed sabotage and cracked down on protesters. Tunisia’s Currency Watch: The dollar climbed back above 3 dinars on the interbank market for the first time since mid-May 2025, with the dinar’s energy-linked role keeping the move politically and economically sensitive. Regional Energy Diplomacy: Tunisia is named among partners pushing the SoutH2 green hydrogen corridor, with ministers meeting in Algiers and signing a political-intent declaration.
