Overview
- The Tunisian League for Human Rights said Friday it was ordered to halt activities for one month, and no government comment was available.
- The group said it will challenge the order in court and keep helping people who report rights abuses.
- Police detained journalist Zied El-Heni on Friday over a social media post critical of the judiciary, his lawyer said.
- Authorities have barred the league from inspecting prisons in several cities in recent months, limiting outside checks on detainee treatment.
- Rights advocates say these steps fit curbs seen since Kais Saied expanded his powers in 2021, with more cases pending including a May 11 hearing on dissolving Inkyfada’s publisher.
