The journalists' union calls for participation in the celebration of World Impunity Day

The National Union of Tunisian Journalists has invited journalists and freedom advocates to participate in events marking World Journal Day to end impunity for crimes against journalists.

The demonstration takes place on Friday 13 November 2026 at the Golden Tulip Al-Mashtal Hotel in Tunis, capital, raising the slogan of evolving threats and continued impunity to alert to the continuing challenges and risks faced by media workers.

The journalists' union organises these events in partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

The National Union of Tunisian Journalists had condemned in late October 2026 the receipt by a reporter of the newspaper Eustaq Menir Zwabi of a threat of prosecution through execution ordered by a national handball coach for publishing a critical article, and also demanded a review of the court ruling issued to journalist Zied el-Heni.
