Members of the European Parliament urged Tunisian President Kais Saied to stop his crackdown on civil society, to release all those arbitrarily detained, and to stop European Union support programs directed at the Ministries of Justice and Interior Affairs.
In a statement published after a session devoted to discussing the human rights situation in Tunisia, Iran and Cambodia, the European Parliament announced its deep concern about the authoritarian tendency of President Kais Saied and his exploitation of the disastrous social and economic situation in the country to overthrow the historic democratic transition in Tunisia.
He demanded the release of detainees, including journalists, judges, lawyers, political activists and trade unionists, and respect for freedom of expression, association and workers’ rights, in accordance with the Tunisian constitution and international treaties.
