💨 Abstract

A Tunisian court has sentenced opposition leaders, businessmen, and lawyers to prison terms ranging from 13 to 66 years on charges of conspiring against state security. The opposition and rights groups claim the charges are fabricated and the trial symbolizes President Kais Saied's authoritarian rule. Saied, who has controlled the judiciary since dissolving parliament in 2021, denies being a dictator and says he is fighting corruption.
