On April 16, 2024, political activist Lasaad Bouazizi was arrested at his home in Sidi Bouzid governorate by the local investigation team. According to the victim of the violation’s lawyer, the arrest was related to a post he had published on his Facebook page, in which he stated: “Down with the regime.”  His entire house was searched and his laptop was confiscated without presenting any judicial authorization as confirmed by his defense. Many charges were brought against Saad Bouazizi, whereby he was investigated leading to issuing an arrest warrant against him following Article 24 of Decree No.54 and other articles of the Penal Code. The victim of the violation was later referred to under Article 72 of the Penal Code, which stipulates that “Anyone who commits an assault intended to replace the state entity or incite the population to attack each other with weapons, cause a commotion, murder and looting on Tunisian soil shall be sentenced to death”. Subsequently, he was detained after closing the investigation and according to the lawyer, they are still waiting for a hearing to be scheduled to consider the case
