Two prominent Tunisian media figures were sentenced Wednesday to one year in prison each after making comments deemed critical by the authorities, a court spokesman said.
Borhen Bssais and Mourad Zeghidi were handed an initial six-month prison sentence each for “spreading false news”, and another six months for making “false statements with the aim of defaming others”, the spokesman, Mohamed Zitouna, told AFP.
