In late January of the current year, security forces raided the residence of the architect and human rights activist Mounir Bechedhli with the aim of arresting him on the basis of a case filed against him in relation to his publications on his personal Facebook page in which he criticized the current authority. He was not found during the raid, but the victim handed himself over to the security authorities on January 29, 2024. Upon review by the public prosecution, it was decided to keep Mounir Bechedhli in custody, with his case presented before the judiciary on February 6, 2024, as he is accused of using the information and communication networks and systems to produce, disseminate, transmit, prepare, news, data or rumors, fabricated or forged documents or deliberately attributed documents with the aim of infringing the rights of others, damaging public security, national defense or spreading terror among the population, in accordance to Article 24 of Decree No.54. On February 7, 2024, the Court of First Instance in Kef issued a preliminary judgment sentencing Mounir Bechedli to three months in prison.
