突尼斯最高法院周四驳回了数十名反对派人士、律师和人权维护者在国家安全阴谋案中的上诉，维持了上诉法院去年判处的刑罚，其中最高刑期达45年监禁1。被告人包括艾哈迈德·内吉卜·切比、乍伊玛·伊萨、贾瓦尔·本·姆巴雷克、加齐·周阿基、阿亚奇·哈马米、哈亚姆·图尔基和阿卜杜勒哈米德·杰拉西等人1。他们被指控参与针对国家内部和外部安全的阴谋、组织或参加恐怖组织，以及试图改变国家形式1。
该案因涉及司法独立和政治自由问题引发国际批评，是总统凯斯·赛义德自2021年7月集权以来对反对派进行的更广泛打压的一部分1。赛义德总统声称这些起诉是为了保护国家安全，曾将某些反对者描述为"叛徒"和"恐怖分子"1。
被告人及其家属表示将继续法律和政治斗争1。伊萨姆·切比之妻法伊扎·拉赫姆表示："经过四年的骚扰和迫害，我们将继续为被关押者辩护。我们不会疲倦或放弃。"1 阿合迈德·内吉卜·切比之女、律师海法·切比曾在8月表示，其82岁的父亲患有呼吸急促和严重疲劳症状1。国际特赦组织对被监禁者的身体状况表示关切1。
Tunisia's highest court has rejected appeals from dozens of opposition figures, lawyers, and human rights defenders convicted in a state security conspiracy case, maintaining sentences of up to 45 years imposed by an appellate court last year 1. The ruling, announced Thursday, affects prominent defendants including Ahmed Najib Chebib, Zaineb Issa, Jaouhar Ben Mbarek, Ghazi Zouaiki, Ayachi Hammami, Hayam Turki, and Abdulhamid Jelassi 1.
The convictions stem from charges of conspiracy against the country's internal and external security, membership in or support for terrorist organizations, and attempts to change the state's form 1. President Kais Saied has characterized the prosecutions as necessary to protect national security, previously describing certain opponents as "traitors" and "terrorists" 1. This case represents part of a broader crackdown on opposition that has intensified since Saied consolidated power in July 2021 1.
The ruling has drawn international concern regarding judicial independence and political freedoms 1. Faiza Rahm, wife of defendant Issam Chebib, stated: "After four years of harassment and persecution, we will continue to defend the detained. We will not tire or give up" 1. Haifa Chebib, a lawyer and daughter of defendant Ahmed Najib Chebib, noted in August that her 82-year-old father suffers from shortness of breath and severe fatigue 1. Amnesty International has expressed concern about the health conditions of imprisoned defendants 1.
