Tunisian environmental group Stop Pollution is protesting legal action taken against thirteen of its activists. The activists are scheduled to appear in court on June 17, 2026, related to a 2020 sit-in protest in Gabès. Stop Pollution released a statement on June 14th denouncing the ongoing legal proceedings. The group views the prosecution as an attempt to stifle environmental activism in the region. The case stems from a demonstration held in 2020, details of which were not immediately available. Stop Pollution is calling for all charges against its members to be dropped. This incident highlights ongoing tensions between environmental advocates and authorities in Tunisia.
