Tunisia: journalist critical of President Saied placed in police custody. Mohamed Boughalleb, who operates on CAP FM radio, is not his first encounter with the Tunisian justice system.
His arrest comes against a backdrop of growing tensions in the country. The national union of Tunisian journalists has expressed its support and concern over the increase in prosecutions against journalists. This arrest comes during a week marked by anger in Tunisia, where lawyers also expressed their refusal of the interference of political power in justice.
