A Tunisian court has delayed the verdict in two cases involving Sihem Ben Sedrine, the former president of the Instance Vérité et Dignité (IVD), a truth and dignity commission. The criminal chamber specializing in corruption cases at the Tunis Court of First Instance announced the postponement on Thursday. The new court date is set for June 25, 2026. The cases are linked to the work undertaken by the IVD, which investigated human rights abuses during the Ben Ali era. Details surrounding the specific charges against Ben Sedrine remain limited in available reports. This delay represents a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings concerning the former head of the transitional justice body. The cases have garnered attention due to the IVD’s controversial role in post-revolution Tunisia.
