Given the nature of the charges and their context, these rulings definitively confirm the de facto authorities&#8217; suppression of press freedom and freedom of expression, and raise serious questions about the availability of guarantees for a fair trial and the independence of the judiciary. They also reflect, in their entirety, a tense climate characterized by an increasing recourse to the courts in dealing with influential media voices.<br>Voice of Freedom considers the prosecution and harsh sentences imposed on journalists, especially in politically motivated cases, a dangerous precedent that will entrench a climate of fear and self-censorship, threatening the very essence of journalism and its role in informing the public.<br>Therefore, we at Voice of Freedom:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Express our strong condemnation of these harsh sentences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Call for respect for press freedom and an end to all forms of harassing prosecutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demand fair trials that meet all the requirements of independence and transparency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affirm that protecting freedom of expression is a fundamental pillar of any democratic system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Targeting journalists cannot be a solution; rather, it deepens the crisis and undermines the public&#8217;s right to information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/ong-voixlibre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/The-Persecution-of-Journalists-in-Tunisia-Continues-Through-the-1.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of The Persecution of Journalists in Tunisia Continues Through the.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-19490238-50d6-4f36-8ff8-7c28d262ad07\" href=\"https:\/\/ong-voixlibre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/The-Persecution-of-Journalists-in-Tunisia-Continues-Through-the-1.pdf\">The Persecution of Journalists in Tunisia Continues Through the<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/ong-voixlibre.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/The-Persecution-of-Journalists-in-Tunisia-Continues-Through-the-1.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-19490238-50d6-4f36-8ff8-7c28d262ad07\">T\u00e9l\u00e9charger<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris, April 17, 2026 The Free Voice Organization expresses its deep concern regarding the continued targeting of journalists and freedom of expression through recent court rulings against a number of journalists and media professionals, most recently journalist Mekdad Mejri, which has resulted in harsh prison sentences of up to twenty years.
