The court of first instance of Tunis has issued an arrest warrant against 18 young illegal immigrants from sub-Saharan countries, for illegal stay.
According to Mosaïque FM, a security campaign targeted many locations in the capital Tunis, including abandoned buildings, which led to the detention of 18 young Sub-Saharan Africans who entered Tunisia illegally.
They were put in detention and brought today before the prosecution of the court of first instance of Tunis, which decided to issue committal warrants against them and to direct them to the criminal court to answer the accusations against them.
