Overview
- The court also imposed a 100,000-dinar fine on the 66-year-old president of the NGO M’nemty.
- Mosbah and colleagues were prosecuted on money-laundering and illicit-enrichment charges, which her defense calls baseless and unsupported by the modest, documented funds.
- Co-defendants received mixed outcomes, including three years for her son Fares, two years for another activist, and non-lieu rulings for three members.
- The Observatoire for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders and the World Organisation Against Torture had urged her release, citing her age and health and warning of a wider squeeze on civil society.
- Detained since May 6, 2024, Mosbah is a leading campaigner against anti-Black racism who helped drive Tunisia’s 2018 anti-discrimination law and defended sub-Saharan migrants after the president’s 2023 speech.
