Tunis Court to Hear Appeals in High-Profile Case
The Tunis Court of First Instance will hold a hearing this Monday to examine appeals against judgments rendered in the first instance in the highly publicized case of the plot against state security, according to the committee for the defense of political detainees.
Remote Hearing Raises Concerns
The court has decided to hold the hearing remotely, without the physical presence of the accused in the courtroom, a measure that the defense committee describes as a "violation of the rights of the defense" and a "deliberate exclusion of detainees from their trial". The committee emphasized that this decision is based on unfounded pretexts, estimating that the procedure limits access to the trial for families, journalists, and observers.
Serious Charges Against the Accused
The accused in this case are being prosecuted for serious offenses, including:
- Formation of a terrorist group
- Plotting against the internal security of the state
- Financing terrorism
- Money laundering
- Attempting to overthrow the regime
- Inciting violence through social media
This high-profile case has sparked significant attention and concern among human rights organizations and the public, with many questioning the fairness and transparency of the trial proceedings.
