Tunisian government response to the UN on prosecutions against Abir Moussi

In its response, the government considered that the cases brought against Moses were related to acts punishable by Tunisian law and not related to its political activity or opposition positions.

Authorities have reviewed a number of cases and court rulings against Moses, including files related to the use of social networks and disruption of freedom of work, as well as offences related to political publicity during the election period.

The government has rejected allegations of political targeting or violation of the guarantees of a fair trial, stressing that the judicial proceedings against Moses took place in accordance with applicable legislation, while respecting the right of defence. This response comes in the context of correspondence with the United Nations Human Rights Mechanisms, amid questions about Abir Moussi's judicial status, respect for her rights and guarantees of a fair trial.

Elyssa published two previous reports: On 8 November 2026 the Elyssa channel received a copy of an official response from the Tunisian government directed at UN human rights mechanisms, on 6 November 2026 defence team demands immediate release of Abir Moussi.
