Court of Cassation Upholds 4-Year Sentence and Fine Against Political Activist Khayam Turk

The Criminal Chamber of the Court of Cassation in Tunisia upheld a 4-year prison sentence against political activist Khayam Turk. The court also imposed a fine of 200,000 dinars on Turk in tax-related cases.

With this new ruling, the total sentence against Turk has increased to 63 years in prison through the accumulation of penalties.

These rulings come at a time when defense bodies and human rights organizations continue to call for the release of political detainees and the cessation of investigations.
