Tunisia Sentences Former President Moncef Marzouki to 22 Years in Prison in Absentia - Jordan News
Tunisia Sentences Former President Moncef Marzouki to 22 Years in Prison in Absentia A Tunisian court has sentenced former President Moncef Marzouki, former presidential chief of staff Imed Daïmi, and former head of the Bar Association Abderrazak Kilani to 22 years in prison in absentia, according to a ruling issued by the Tunis First Instance Court. اضافة اعلان Tunisian radio Mosaique FM reported on Friday evening that the Criminal Chamber for Terrorism Cases at the court handed down the sentence with immediate enforcement, also applying the same sentence to two unnamed additional defendants. The Court of Appeals' specialized terrorism division reportedly classified all the accused as fugitives. In response to the ruling, Marzouki issued a statement Friday evening saying, 'Judges have today sentenced me to 22 years in prison, adding to a previous 8-year sentence and another of 4 years.' He added, 'These rulings have targeted some of Tunisia's most honorable figures and continue to provoke international ridicule.' Marzouki affirmed, 'Rest assured, democracy will return, and Tunisia will resume building a state based on law and institutions. The people will rise to free themselves from fear, humiliation, and further descent into poverty.' As of 8:30 GMT, there had been no official response from the Tunisian government regarding the sentence. Back in May 2024, Hanène Kaddas, spokesperson for the Judicial Counter-Terrorism Division, told the official Tunis Afrique Presse (TAP) agency that a judicial inquiry had been launched against Marzouki and others involved in a press conference held abroad (reportedly in France, though the date was not specified). Kaddas accused Marzouki of 'attacking state institutions, defaming several judges, and attributing false statements that damage their reputations.' Tunisian President Kais Saied has maintained that the judiciary operates independently and that he does not interfere in its affairs. However, the opposition accuses him of weaponizing the judiciary to prosecute critics of the exceptional measures he began implementing on July 25, 2021, which included freezing parliament, lifting immunity from MPs, abolishing the Constitutional Oversight Body, and issuing laws via presidential decrees. Major political and civil groups in Tunisia have rejected these exceptional measures, calling them 'authoritarian and a consolidation of one-man rule.' Meanwhile, other factions support them, viewing them as reflecting the will of the Tunisian people. — (Anadolu Agency)

Hebrew Media: Occupation is angry from Jordanian Bar Association
Ammon News - The Israeli occupation government expressed its anger at the Jordanian Bar Association because of the drawing of the occupation flag at the entrance to the new building of the association for everyone to step on it, submitting an official protest through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Hebrew media reported Wednesday that the occupation issued a strong condemnation of the Deputy Head of the Jordanian Bar Association, Walid Al-Adwan, stepping on the "Israeli" flag, and drawing it at the entrance to the building of the association for everyone to step on it. The Hebrew media circulated a picture of the aggression at the entrance to the office, trampling on the Israeli occupation flag. The occupation's Foreign Ministry considered that placing the flag on the floor of the entrance and the aggression's statement that "it must be trampled on by everyone who enters our union, which is resistant to normalization," is incitement that is not in line with the spirit of the peace agreement. The Ministry filed an official protest with the Jordanian Embassy, stressing the need to ensure that such incidents are not repeated in the future, calling on the Jordanian government to condemn the incident and take steps to prevent the recurrence of such acts.
