Tunisian Court Refuses to Release Activist Rshid Al-Thunayshi and Postpones Trial
The Tunisian Court of First Instance has refused to release activist Rshid Al-Thunayshi and postponed his trial to October 20.
The Criminal Chamber of the Court of First Instance in Tunis has refused to release activist and defense member Rshid Al-Thunayshi and postponed his trial to October 20.
Al-Thunayshi is facing charges related to his participation in a protest march in the capital to show solidarity with the leaders of the Western Mediterranean Shield fleet who are detained in Tunisian prisons.
The defense considers the pursuit of Al-Thunayshi and other activists as a restriction on the right to peaceful assembly and the expression of solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
The public prosecutor's office justifies the prosecution based on the violation of legal provisions related to assembly on public roads.
