Trial Observation: Freedom of expression, Freedom of association, and unfair trials in Tunisia
|
Report on the trials of Dr Moncef Marzouki, Attorney Nejib Hosni and the Tunisian League for Human Rights (Published jointly with the Kurdish Human Rights Project, the International Federation for Human Rights, the World Organisation against Torture, The Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Union Internationale des Avocats). Tunisian human rights defenders, government opponents and critics continue to be falsely accused of “subversive activities” both within Tunisia and abroad. As a result they are subject to harassment in the form of surveillance, restrictions on movement, intimidation and disconnection and interception of their telephone and fax lines. Foreign media and publications critical of the government are banned in Tunisia.
By following the trials of three prominent human rights defenders in December 2000 and January 2001, this report comments on Tunisia's failure to comply with internationally recognized human rights standards, in particular freedom of expression, freedom of association and unfair trials.
