Following the July 25, 2021 coup in Tunisia, opposition leaders, judges, lawyers, civil society activists, union members, journalists and bloggers have been arbitrarily detained. The Saied regime’s actions have also fueled racist attacks against black Tunisians and migrants, undermining Tunisia’s historical role as the cradle of the Arab Spring and causing a significant erosion of its democratic gains.

The Tunisian State’s violation of its international obligations prompts the question of potential actions at the UN level. We invite you to participate in a discussion alongside family members of those detained and tortured, as well as expert commentators, to explore solutions for addressing the ongoing crisis and restoring democratic principles.
