A Tunisian appeals court upheld an eight-year prison sentence for anti-racism activist Saâdia Mosbah on Tuesday, June 23rd, on charges related to financial crimes. Mosbah is the president of the association Mnemty. The organization SOS Racisme, which is supporting Mosbah, alleges the accusations are politically motivated and intended to suppress defenders of minority rights. They claim the financial charges are a pretext for targeting her activism. Kapitalis first reported on the case. The sentencing has raised concerns about freedom of expression and human rights in Tunisia. Further details regarding the specific financial offenses remain limited.
