“Two prominent Tunisian columnists were sentenced on Thursday to three and a half years in prison each for money laundering and tax evasion, according to a relative and local media. The two men, Mourad Zeghidi and Borhen Bsaies, have already been in detention for almost two years for statements considered critical of President Kais Saied’s government, made on radio, television programmes and social media. They were due to be released in January 2025 but have remained in custody on charges of money laundering and tax evasion.” (01/22/26)
