Reporters Without Borders' annual press freedom report revealed that Tunisia has dropped significantly in its ranking among countries worldwide. The report stated that Tunisia ranked 120th out of 180 countries, up from 94th, while it was ranked 73rd in 2021.
The Tunisian Journalists Syndicate attributed this decline to the escalation of violations against journalists and the continuation of trials of opinion makers. The head of the Journalists Syndicate, Mehdi Jelassi, said at a press conference that state television has turned into "a trivial propaganda mouthpiece that excludes all opposition voices"
