Tunisian anti-racism activist Saadia Mosbah will remain in prison after the Tunis Court of Appeal upheld an eight-year sentence and approximately €30,000 fine against her. Mosbah was instrumental in the 2018 adoption of Tunisia’s first law against racism, a landmark achievement in the Maghreb region. The ruling, delivered on June 23, 2026, confirms the original sentence issued in a lower court. Supporters had hoped for her immediate release, having rallied in recent months to advocate for her freedom. The case has drawn attention to concerns about freedom of expression and human rights in Tunisia. Details regarding the specific charges leading to her conviction remain a focal point of international scrutiny. The confirmed sentence represents a setback for anti-racism advocacy within the country.
