突尼斯一名法官于9月5日星期五下令拘留资深记者穆罕默德·尤素福,警方在他抵达电台参加采访时将其拘捕1。尤素福担任调查新闻网站Al-Qatiba的主编,因公开批评总统凯斯·赛义德而为人所知1。法官以非法致富和洗钱罪名下达拘留令,但未提供具体理由1。
记者工会全国新闻记者协会(SNJT)主席Zied Dabbar表示,此次逮捕与尤素福对当局的批评直接相关1。电台主持人Walid Ben Rhouma指出"没有给出拘留的理由"1。该工会在声明中强调,这不仅是针对尤素福个人的打击,更是对所有记者以及突尼斯民众享受自由独立媒体权利的攻击1。
自总统赛义德2021年暂停议会、2022年解散议会以来,突尼斯的新闻自由状况不断恶化1。除尤素福外,今年已有多名媒体人士遭到监禁,包括Zied Heni、Mourad Zghidi和Borhen Bsaies,记者Khaoula Boukrim在6月被缺席判处4年徒刑1。9月4日,律师Ghazi Mrabet也被逮捕并被拘留1。8月份,抗议者曾走上街头支持被监禁的活动人士和记者,呼吁赛义德下台1。
A Tunisian judge has ordered the arrest of Mohamed Yousfi, a senior journalist and editor-in-chief of the investigative news website Al-Qatiba, on September 5 1. Police detained Yousfi as he arrived at a radio station for an interview 1. The judge issued the detention order on charges of illegal enrichment and money laundering 1, though no specific grounds were provided for the accusations 1.
Yousfi is known for his criticism of President Kais Saied 1. The National Union of Tunisian Journalists (SNJT) president Zied Dabbar stated that the arrest is connected to Yousfi's criticism of authorities 1. Radio host Walid Ben Rhouma remarked that "no reasons were given for the detention" 1. The SNJT issued a statement declaring, "This is not only an attack on Yousfi, but an attack on all journalists and the rights of all Tunisians to enjoy free and independent media" 1.
The detention is part of a broader pattern of targeting journalists and activists in Tunisia following President Saied's suspension of parliament in 2021 and its dissolution in 2022 1. Imprisoned media figures this year include Zied Heni, Mourad Zghidi, and Borhen Bsaies 1. Journalist Khaoula Boukrim was sentenced in absentia to four years imprisonment in June 1. On September 4, lawyer Ghazi Mrabet was also arrested and detained 1. In August, protesters took to the streets to support imprisoned activists and journalists, calling for Saied's departure 1.
