Tunisia: Civil Society Mobilization Against Racism and Repression

A demonstration against racism took place in Tunis, organized by the Forum for Economic and Social Rights, gathering around a hundred people. Participants condemned the rise of hostile rhetoric towards migrants, particularly from sub-Saharan Africa, exacerbated by President Kaïs Saïed's statements in 2023. Activists, such as Saadia Mosbah, recently sentenced, and Abdallah Saïd, who is set to appear in court, continue to advocate for human rights despite a growing climate of distrust towards foreigners.
