The UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture (SPT) is set to visit Tunisia from 27 March to 2 April 2022 to assess the country’s implementation of the recommendations it made during its previous visit.
“Tunisia was the first country in North Africa to establish a National Preventive Mechanism (NPM), which the SPT has been supporting since its inception,” said Abdallah Ounnir, Chair of the four-member delegation. “We are pleased to return to meet with members of the NPM to see the progress of their work and advise on how to make improvements.”
“We will also meet with government authorities to discuss prevention policies and visit places of deprivation of liberty, which we did not do during our first visit,” he added.
