Tunisia lawyer handed one-year sentence over critical comments on the country
Sonia Dahmani, a prominent Tunisian lawyer known for her criticism of President Kais Saied, has been sentenced to one year in prison, her legal representative said on Saturday. Dahmani's sentence comes as rights organisations say that Tunisian authorities' crackdown on critical voices is "methodically annihilating" what little remains of Tunisia's hard-won freedoms.
