WJWC Call for Dropping False Charges Against a Tunisian Activist

The Women Journalists Without Chains (WJWC) has commented that the blogger and anti- impunity activist Myriam Bribri has spent two years in the courts just for exercising the right to freedom of opinion and expression guaranteed by both domestic and international laws by exposing the security services' violations against citizens.

The WJWC has strongly condemned this violation against activist Myriam Bribri, noting that fear and anxiety are hanging over the land of freedom and the cradle of the modern Arab revolutions, Tunisia, due to the machinery of detention and notorious laws the Tunisian regime seeks to impose on the Tunisian people in clear violation of their right to freedom of opinion and expression, and freedom of the press, which is a deliberate undermining of the Jasmine Revolution’s gains.

On October 12, 2022, a court of appeal in Tunisia is set to rule on the case of the activist Myriam Bribri subject to four-month prison sentence issued on December 21, 2021, for a Facebook comment criticizing the abuses by the security services.
