The correctional chamber at Ben Arous court of first of instance sentenced writer and journalist Taoufik Ben Brik to one year in prison with immediate effect.

“Tonight my friend Taoufik Ben Brik is languishing in prison for a crime of lèse-magistrate by denouncing the justice of Ben Ali … the same Ben Ali who took the trouble to stick a dirty case of violence to him to avoid arresting him for his opinions against the despotic regime.

Taoufik Ben Brik the scholar, friend and accomplice of the greatest intellectuals and novelists in the world will sleep in a sordid cell.
