AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Civil Society Crackdown: Human Rights Watch warns Tunisia is moving to “shutter” civil society, citing prosecutions, long preventive detention, financial investigations and mass suspensions tied to at least 47 NGO-linked cases and convictions including prominent defender Saadia Mosbah. Rights & Justice: Amnesty International urges Tunisia’s Court of Cassation to overturn convictions in an unjust “conspiracy” case ahead of the 3 September final appeal, saying opposition figures and rights defenders were targeted through due-process violations. Cost-of-Living Crisis: With extreme heat pushing near-50°C temperatures, Tunisia faces rotating power cuts that cascade into water shortages as hospitals and households struggle with outages, strained services and disrupted pumping. Political Climate: As anger over power and water shortages grows, reporting highlights a widening “chilling effect” on activists and organizations, with more people reportedly thinking twice before speaking or working on sensitive issues.
