On December 5, 2024, Béchr Chebbi, and Rafik Bouchleka, a leader of the Islamist Ennahdha movement, were referred to the criminal chamber to face trial on terrorism-related charges.
Background of the Investigation
This legal process follows probes initiated by the judicial authority specializing in counter-terrorism. The two Tunisian figures are accused of involvement in cases potentially linked to acts of terrorism. These allegations arise from certain public statements and social media posts deemed inciting or reported by whistleblowers.
A Sensitive Context and Serious Accusations
Tunisian authorities are conducting extensive investigations into suspicious statements and actions that may have affected national stability and security. Chebbi and Bouchleka now face charges that could lead to severe prison sentences if confirmed.
These accusations come at a particularly sensitive time as Tunisia intensifies its fight against terrorism and extremism.
