- The decision by the Tunis Court of Appeal to uphold the unjust convictions in the ‘conspiracy case’ exposes further the relentless campaign to erode rights and silence dissent in Tunisia.
By validating the guilty verdicts following a sham trial based on unfounded charges against dozens of individuals, including prominent politicians, lawyers, and human rights defenders, the justice system again emboldens the growing authoritarianism and the full-blown human rights crisis in Tunisia.
Tunisian authorities must immediately quash the unjust convictions and sentences against all defendants in the ‘conspiracy case’. They must immediately and unconditionally release all those detained solely for exercising their human rights.

- Description
- As Gen Z-led protests in Kenya in June 2024 against the introduction of a new Finance Bill, Kenyan authorities systematically deployed technology-facilitated violence as part of a coordinated and sustained campaign to suppress criticism.
TikTok, X and Facebook rapidly brought together young people around shared frustrations over the 2024 Finance Bill, which many saw as deepening economic hardship, leading to massive public protests across the country. Kenyan state authorities responded by violently cracking down on young people’s exercise of their rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly through online intimidation, threats, incitement to hatred and unlawful surveillance. Prominent social media voices were arrested or forcibly disappeared.
