Tunisian Court Postpones Trial of Second Smuggling Case Until November 20

The criminal chamber of the Court of First Instance in Tunis has postponed the trial of the second smuggling case until November 20, 2026, as a final deadline. The hearing was held via remote communication, with direct connection to the courtroom at Mornaguia prison.

The case involves political detainees, leaders of political parties, and heads of associations and travel agencies, who are accused of joining a terrorist group and organizing terrorist activities. The court responded to the defense's request to postpone the hearing to allow lawyers to prepare their defense before the start of the arguments.
