They asked him to go with them briefly to the police station, at most 10 minutes, for questioning and consultation. Later, it was revealed that he was informed that he was under investigation due to an old bank check. He informed them that he had not issued any bank checks for years. Their response was that this falls under the jurisdiction of the prosecution, and he is required to accompany them immediately. Artist Taoufik Omran testified to Intersection Association for Rights and Freedoms that the questioning regarding the bank check took only 15 minutes. Nevertheless, they quickly shifted to questions about his artworks and drawings, and it lasted for more than three hours. He found the questions to be repetitive and a form of harassment and systematic violation. He was then taken to another office and subjected to the same questions again, as well as other personal questions about his political orientation, without informing him of his right to defense and the presence of a lawyer during the investigation. Around 10 PM, they decided to hold him in custody for 48 hours, where he was taken to the detention center in Bouchoucha. Around 2:00 AM, he was retaken to the Police Station, where they handed him back his I.D. and informed him that upon his release, he would receive a summons to appear before the Court of First Instance of Tunis. Later, Mr.Taoufik Omram stated that there was a case against him at the Court of First Instance of Ben Arous related to his caricature artwork. He is accused under Article 86 of the Telecommunications Law, which stipulates that any individual who deliberately insults, harasses, or causes discomfort to others through public communications networks will be sentenced to a period from 1 to 2 years and a fine ranging from 100 to 100.000 Tunisian Dinars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7199,"template":"","meta":{"datee":1695326400,"govern":"Tunis Medina Delegation","violation_location_map":"R54J+JJ2\u060c \u062a\u0648\u0646\u0633\u060c \u062a\u0648\u0646\u0633\u200e"},"ecupation":[230,254],"case_status":[231],"governorate":[232],"violation_type":[242],"class_list":["post-8655","violations","type-violations","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ecupation-230","ecupation-civil-activist","case_status-231","governorate-tunis","violation_type-violation-of-freedom-of-opinion-and-expression"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/map.intersection.uno\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/violations\/8655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/map.intersection.uno\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/violations"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/map.intersection.uno\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/violations"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/map.intersection.uno\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/violations\/8655\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8657,"href":"https:\/\/map.intersection.uno\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/violations\/8655\/revisions\/8657"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/map.intersection.uno\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/map.intersection.uno\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"ecupation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/map.intersection.uno\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ecupation?post=8655"},{"taxonomy":"case_status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/map.intersection.uno\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_status?post=8655"},{"taxonomy":"governorate","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/map.intersection.uno\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/governorate?post=8655"},{"taxonomy":"violation_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/map.intersection.uno\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/violation_type?post=8655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
