A Tunisian court upheld a seven-month prison sentence for activist Ghassen Boughdiri on Friday, August 14, 2026, prompting strong condemnation from the Coordination for Joint Action for Palestine in Tunisia. The organization released a statement criticizing the appeal ruling, noting the decision was made without allowing a defense argument. Details surrounding the initial charges against Boughdiri remain unclear based on the available information. This confirmation of the sentence raises concerns about freedom of speech and political activism in Tunisia. The Coordination views the imprisonment as a suppression of pro-Palestinian advocacy. The story was first reported by Kapitalis. Further details are expected as the case develops.
