Tunisian journalists protest over media crackdown

The leaders of Tunisia’s main opposition parties have been jailed in the last three years, along with dozens of ⁠politicians, ​activists, journalists and businessmen, on charges of conspiring ​against state security, money laundering and corruption.

The protesters, who also included activists, gathered outside a court where a judge was questioning Yousfi over illicit enrichment and money laundering charges, which critics say ​were fabricated to punish him for his outspoken journalism.

Saied says he will not be a dictator ​and that freedoms are guaranteed in Tunisia.
