According to the National Commission for the Defense of the ‘Soumoud’ Flotilla Activists and Palestinian Rights, Kaïs Bouzouzia received a one-year suspended prison sentence in Tunisia. Khalil Laabidi and Thouraya Chtiba were each sentenced to eight months of suspended imprisonment, then released. Several activists have denounced these convictions, considering them unjust. The case centers around support for the ‘Soumoud’ Flotilla, a vessel symbolizing solidarity with Palestine. The sentences have sparked criticism from advocates who view them as a suppression of free expression and activism. The article detailing the release first appeared on Business News, a Tunisian publication. The released activists are now free but retain the conditions of their suspended sentences.
