Our legal team appeared before the East African Court of Justice in Kigali today for the appeal in the #EACOP case against the governments of Uganda and Tanzania. We stand firm in demanding justice, emphasizing that this project must comply with regional and international laws. @Avaaz @RockefellerFdn @business @FordFoundation

Today, we joined others in Brussels to protest the placing of competitiveness over human rights and the environment.

We say #NoToOmnibus because it goes against the EU’s principles, values, & long-term interest.

[Avocats Sans Frontières en Tunisie - ASF @ASF_Tunisie]

19/2/25, Sihem Ben Sedrine was released, but her travel ban highlights Tunisia’s growing repression of #HRDs. Her courage & the efforts of her defenders are commendable. Yet, arbitrary restrictions must end. We demand justice, accountability, & freedom for all political detainees

[Avocats Sans Frontières en Tunisie - ASF @ASF_Tunisie]

@ASF_NGO accueille et soutient les déclarations des experts de l'#UE et de l'#ONU qui exigent la remise en liberté immédiate et inconditionnelle de #SihemBensedrine, appelant la #Tunisie à respecter ses engagements internationaux en matière de #droits humains.

[Avocats Sans Frontières en Tunisie - ASF @ASF_Tunisie]

The detention of Sihem Ben Sedrine, extended by 4 months despite her critical health, raises serious #HR concerns in #Tunisia. On day 15 of her hunger strike against arbitrary detention, she was urgently hospitalized. Authorities must act to safeguard her rights & well-being.

#Omnibus risks dismantling already-approved EU laws that protect #HumanRights, environment & help curb corporate emissions

We say #NoToOmnibus because corporate accountability isn’t optional—it’s essential for a just, sustainable future

[JusticeInfo.net @justiceinfonet]

🇹🇳 #Tunisia - Sihem Bensedrine, the former president of the Truth Commission, has been in pre-trial detention since 1 August. Her lawyers fight for her release, denouncing “a judicial cabal with the sole objective to bury Tunisian #TransitionalJustice”.

[European Ombudsman @EUombudsman]

We call on @EU_Commission to be more transparent about #humanrights information it relied on before signing an agreement with Tunisia that includes EU funds for border management. It should also set out and publish explicit criteria for suspending EU funding.

Our findings 👇

[PPLAAF @PPLAAF]

PPLAAF is deeply concerned about the detention of its advisory board member Sihem Bensedrine (@SihemBS), a Tunisian journalist and Truth and Dignity Commission Chair.

@PPLAAF calls for the respect of legal safeguards to protect commission members against SLAPP lawsuits.
///

PPLAAF est profondément préoccupé par la détention de Sihem Bensedrine (@SihemBS), membre de son conseil scientifique, journaliste tunisienne et présidente de l'Instance Vérité et Dignité.

@PPLAAF appelle au respect des garanties légales pour protéger les membres de la commission contre les procédures-bâillons.

[Amnesty MENA @AmnestyMENA]

⚠️ On 1 August 2024, a Tunis investigative judge ordered the pre-trial detention of prominent human rights defender #Sihem_Bensedrine who was president of the Truth and Dignity Commission (IVD) until 2018.
